power management in processors?

is that a complete question?\n\nwhich proc?  intel, amd, power pc?\n\nthe x86s each have power management for clocks (Intel SpeedStep, for example)...\n\ncare to expand the question?

Yes. Assuming you have a PC: Go to your Control Panel and open Power Options. You can change the settings for your sytem's stand-by and hibernate options, or turn them off completely.

Yes, if they can change your CPU speed or videocard speed with overclocking software its possible to burn it out.

Sure! Make sure any scheduled tasks use the advanced mode to bring system out of standby.\nSTART, ALL Programs, Accessories,System Tools,Scheduled Tasks - then choose:\nProperties, Settings, Wake the Computer to run this Task

Look in your laptops power saving program (exapmle dell-quickset). It is usally a setting that disables the wireless/NIC to conserve power. Good Luck.

I run my web server on one. http://bibleprojector.servehttp.com\nIt only takes 20W to power.

It depends on your priorities.\n\nFrom a power cost standpoint, it's cheaper to turn them off. Remember, a PC uses like 300 watts all the time it's on. That costs $.\n\nFrom a hardware standpoint, the hardware will have a longer lifetime if you leave it running all the time. Every time the hard drive powers down, wether it be from powering down the system or setting the hard drive to turn off after so-many-minutes, every time the hard drive spins down, when you start it back up, it's a jolt on the drive motor and will reduce it's life.  Even simple things like the power button will wear out if you use it too much.\n\nMy own systems, I never turn them off. I disabled the hard drive time-out so it never spins down. My drives have been "spinning" for years.\n\nIf you make good backups and cost is an issue, then power it down. But you'll probably have to replace things like your hard drive and case fans every few years.\n\nIf cost isn't an issue and want your hardware to last longer, then leave it running.  As the others said, just make sure you room is cool enough all 24 hours.

As far as I understand on a processor with HT the operating system would recognize it as two processors. (Ofcourse there are other design options, but this is the simplest choice and keeps the OS independent of the way the threads are scheduled).

close processes and programs that are not necessary.\navoid running many programs at the same time.\n\nyou can check what programs/processes are running with <ctrl> + <alt> + < del> and click processes. Make sure you know what you are closing.\n\nThe other way is to overclock your computer. This will make all your hardware run hotter and increase the likelyhood of something breaking down.

The fan should turn off automatically when it is not needed to cool the processor. Unless you are talking about the fan for the casing. You could look at a computer electronics store and see if they have an energy saver type of fan.

Modern day systems are designed to use very little power actually..loaded for bear or not. printers use a heck of a lot more and a server is a computer generally speaking.the power use would epend on what you made it accomplish ie: is it hosting a zillion things or just one?\nI think in either case a 100 watt bulb or two would probably burn more energy if left on constantly than a comp does, especially if you set it to go to sleep or power down when you're not using it

I had this problem before, I fixed it by reseting the bios to it's defaults, unfortunately I never did find out exactly what bios setting was causing it though. You can take a look under the "power management" section of your bios and see if you can find it, or just do like I did and reset it to defaults.

yes the Tower is referred to as the CPU[Central Processing Unit] \n\nthat is in technical parlance\n\ngood luck\n\n\nRegarding the power surge, i have an UPS[Uninterupted Power Supply] which not only protects my pc from frequent power loss and of course from fluctuations\n\nyou can also try power surge protectors, instead of leaving them on\n\n\nremember..turning your pc not only savees your computer and tvs from burn out\n\nit also saves power

Some brands has own power management programs with option to turn fan always on. Some has this option in bios. But I never seen option to turn it instantly off. I wouldn't do it. Even if you have good wind tunnel built for cooling. Factory fan is situated right in the place for most efficient cooling. Show mercy to your CPU.

If you had power issues then lagging would be the least of your problems. A switching power supply will shut down if overloaded. If you are concerned that your PC may be getting close to pushing the limits of the power supply, You can check the the amperage either on the AC or DC side with a clamp-on amp meter to determine the load the PC is drawing.
