    AMD Athlon 64 / Cool'n Quiet related question

    Hi everyone,
    I am having trouble getting my Athlon 64 3400+ CPU to actually run at normal
    speed under Vista Ulitmate. I have read to other posts on this topic and so
    far have established that Cool'n Quiet will not work for me because my
    motherboard does not provide the correct APCI information.

    In principle I have no problem with this as I don't really care if Cool'n
    Quiet is disabled. The problem is no matter what Power Settings I use Vista
    only every runs the CPU at 800MHz and not 2200MHz. I have verified this using
    many CPU tools and while running CPU intensive tasks like half life 2 etc...
    Does anyone know how to make Vista run the CPU as the native speed?

    Note: I have moved this question to the Vista Hardware and Devices group as I
    realise that is a more approprite location.

    Uninstall The AMD drivers
    Reboot and enter the BIOS...Turn Cool'n Quiet off
    While there check to make sure the CPU setting is correct.
    Save and Exit

    thanks for the quick info. i have a clean install of Vista and have not
    installed the AMD drivers. my machine is a laptop and the bios has no
    settings for cool'n quiet or for changing the CPU settings. there never
    seemed to be a problem with XP x64 so I don't understand why Vista has a
    problem. do you have any other ideas?

    I had the same problem with my Amilo A1630, and unfortunately Fujitsu-Siemens aren't being very helpful by not supporting Windows Vista. The solution is to upgrade to a BIOS that supports CPU power management under Vista, which the latest one from FS doesn't...

    Fortunately you can get an updated BIOS from Uniwell at this link:
    http://www.uniwill.com/UserDownload/258KA0/258KA0.php

    I flashed my BIOS with version 1.05 from that site, and now my A1630 runs Vista Ultimate at full speed. Also the CPU controls in Power Options have magically appeared and my CPU performance score in Vista has doubled, which is a nice bonus!

    I hope this helps... I'd be interested to know if it works for you too.

    I had updated my D1845 with the FSC bios CD which worked fine for me. You can also try this similar method that I choose. First make a bootable CD with Nero software. After that burn the unzipped Uniwill bios files on it and then start the notebook with the CD. On the CD prompt type "f82745 258ka5.105" with quotes and see if that works. Incase the bios starts again then go to BIOS and load the default settings.

    Well, can you go to the official website of Fujitsu and download the latest bios version for your motherboard from the below link. You just have to search for the model versions in the box to get the bios:

    I had install the latest bios 1.04 fro fujitsu official site.
    Now the a1630 recognize 2gb ram but there is a problem like before with a cpu ,when i am installing windows vista x64 stops on 800mhz and always working at the lowest frenquency.
    I have read many posts and i am sure that with bios 1.05 from uniwill the cpu working normal without locked on 800mhz while using win7 or Vista.

    I was found the bios zip file after many days on net because uniwill site there
    is not exist.
    And i am looking for the way to install this without floppy drive.
    In the zip file there is not a flash file. there are only these files
    258ka5.105
    Checksum
    F82745
    How can i make a bootble cd or usb ???
