I get the following error when I shutdown or restart the computer after disabling "Smart power-saving CPU" in the Energy Management Settings:
Energy Management.exe - Application Error
The instruction at 0x80001700 referenced memory at 0x80001700. The memory could not be written.
Click on OK to terminate the program.
After rebooting, the smart power-saving CPU option is still enabled, so I can't disable the smart power-saving cpu option.
How can I permanently disable this setting?
I have a G470 with Windows 7 64bit with the latest drivers and BIOS (my version numbers are even greater than the ones available from the consumersupport site)
PS.
I want to disable Smart power-saving CPU because of another bug that I confirmed was caused by this setting: Programs would become unresponsive after 3 or so minutes of inactivity (not moving the mouse or typing anything). For example, itunes would suddenly stop playing in the middle of a song. Firefox (or any other open program) would appear to hang when I go back to my laptop after being away. Those programs would respond again after a painfully long time. All I can do is just move my mouse and switch windows to other unresponsive programs.
This problem went away after I disabled smart-power saving CPU and also smart power-saving hard disk. For weeks everything was working properly. but then I encountered again this "unresponsiveness after minutes of inactivity" problem and I discovered that the "smart power-saving CPU" setting was reset/re-enabled and I could not disable it anymore.
Please help. I need a fix for just one of the two mentioned bugs.
Thanks.
