银河星尘

Catalyst_9.12出来了，9.11也很久了，可DELL的就只给M92，还是几个月前的。
今天，实在郁闷了，调教之。

先G，发现“笔记本ATI显卡安装最新驱动及最新CCC的方法”，找到Mobility Modder.net，然后找软件官网，找到“DH Mobility Modder.net v1.2.0.0 Final”。

后来的就简单了，照说明做。
Win7下不用禁止UAC，我是直接把那程序以管理员身份运行了。然后处理9-12_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu和Catalyt_9.12_Hotfix_Win7_Vista_8.682.2RC1_Dec15。安装成功，连重启都不需要。
（我这装完后面那个，动态桌布就黑掉了，只好重启。可能是新装了HydraVision的关系。）

公司重排后，分到间一直有夏天感觉的办公室，看到自己的Dell Inspiron 1320老是报告显卡67度多，烤得CPU也跟着热（在寝室才60度……），就想找个自己调风扇转速的软件。g了下，就找到I8kfanGUI，为了在64位Win7下运行，还要解决微软的驱动程序数字签名问题（感觉向S60 v3，装点重要的就要签名……）。

先整理下，再重启测试。

http://superuser.com/questions/46072/how-to-spindownsleep-a-sata-hard-disk-drive-under-win
I am using a 3.5″ SATA HDD from the eSATA port of my laptop. The HDD is powered with another ATX power supply. Each time I unplug the eSATA, I cannot make the HDD spindown before I power off the ATX.

So, any tool to do this ?

Have you tried savely removing it (perhaps only for USB) or unmounting the drive?

Else have a look at HotSwap!

You can treat the eSata like a HDD you’re trying to hot swap, thus turning it off. But instead of swapping it, you just leave it off.

Features:

• Compatible user interface with the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon on Windows XP.
• Confirms all volumes assigned to the drive are not in use before removing it.
• Spin-down the drive to remove the drive safely.
• Not only fixed disk drives but also other type of drives can be removed.
• Runs without user interface by given command line switch and also the message popup can be suppressed.

I just find hdpram have win edition.

-y
Force an IDE drive to immediately enter the low power consumption standby mode, usually causing it to spin down. The current power mode status can be checked using the -C flag.
-Y
Force an IDE drive to immediately enter the lowest power consumption sleep mode, causing it to shut down completely. A hard or soft reset is required before the drive can be accessed again (the Linux IDE driver will automatically handle issuing a reset if/when needed). The current power mode status can be checked using the -C flag.

AGP and PCI-E Programs May Hang With AMD K7 and K8 Processors
• Issue
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows XP systems using AMD K7 and K8 processors can hang when an AGP or PCI‐E program is used. 
•Root Cause 
There is a known problem with Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows XP systems using AMD K7 and K8 CPUs that results in the Microsoft operating system 
allocating overlapping 4M cached pages with 4k write‐combined pages. This condition results in undefined behavior and data corruption, and is explicitly disallowed by the AMD CPU manual. 
This problem can affect any device driver in the system that allocates write‐combined system memory, but is usually most easily reproduced with graphics drivers since graphics drivers generally make heavy use of write‐combined system memory for performance reasons. 
• Resolution 
Microsoft has a knowledge base article on the issue, the text of which is unfortunately quite outdated. While the article only mentions Windows 2000, AGP, 
and K7, both the root cause and resolution also apply to Windows 2000 or Windows XP, AGP or PCI‐, and AMD K7 or K8. The article can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=270715. 
The issue is resolved by applying an operating system registry key as described in the referenced article that instructs the Microsoft operating system to not use the 
4M pages, thus avoiding the conflict. 
The registry key is automatically applied by installation of the latest NVIDIA nForce platform driver package (including 4.57 SMBUS or later). It is imperative for 
the package to be installed or for the registry key to be applied before the NVIDIA graphics driver or any other device drivers are installed. The registry key takes 
effect only after an operating system reboot.
