--- Comment #100 from Xavier Hourcade <[email protected]> 2012-07-23 14:25:36 --- Still occurs, neither worse nor better cf. frequency, with: kernel-3.4.4-4.fc16.x86_64 (since July 10): fault occurred I've tested more kernels, no more luck, hence default to this one ever since. Interestingly enough, issue also occurs with... Vista's Memory Diagnostic tool (as available from Vista boot menu entry). But it still does *not* occur under Vista itself. This is an OEM install from Asus DVD, with all factory drivers updated, and all Windows Update patches applied. I only use it as a "witness" OS for hardware checks, and I cannot tell about its "Safe Mode", since it has *always* given me a BSOD here, nothing else... :D Vista is a poem by itself anyway, present other core issues here, and is not even a "safe" option for this hardware : yet, I could see graphic artefacts under heavy GPU load, which to my experience are premises to nVidia adapter physical damages [1]. All is fine on this side under GNU/Linux. You've been warned! Maybe worth mentioning, Open Hardware Monitor [2] reads ACPI fine, despite confusing FSB speed *if* launched under heavy load [3]. Asus' drivers and tools are still available at [4], including their ACPI driver, named "ATK0100" [5]. Besides, their hardware monitoring tool, named "NBProbe" [6], no longer works here since Windows Update's July patches were applied (but this is strictly a GUI-related issue I think, and Open Hardware Monitor still works well). So to my understanding, this would confirm the Asus ACPI driver knows and achieve to workaround our BIOS/EC factory defect, while Linux kernel doesn't know how to deal with it. => Could anyone please confirm ? => Could we make any further reading/sniffing under Vista maybe, in order to help replicating this workaround as a patch to Linux kernels, finally ?
