Creazy timers  
Hi.

I have problem wiwh timers in qnx4 apps, 
I have simple process, which works with timer triggering every 20ms. 
On old computer (celeron 700MHz) process work fine, on free or stressed system.
 
When i run it on on new pc with core 2 duo,  something is going wrong. 
Without stress, timers works corect (almost), but when i stress a little system (eg. running some other apps)
timer (triggering) stay unstable,  value is jumpiung 20ms to  0.3mm (random).

I tested some BIOS settings, eg turn off C1E (blocked speedstep), but without succes.

How to solve this problem ?

Thanks. 

H.

Hi Huwawa,

Sorry for the delay with the answer. Does this problem occur on the specific configuration or on any Core 2 Duo PC? Do 
you experience this problem on Core i3/i5/i7 CPU? To get a suggestion and then a solution for you we should reproduce 
the problem. Please describe a simple way to reproduce it.

I guess this behavior may be an effect of SMM. If so you can decrease this effect by disabling all unused HW and options
 in your BIOS setup.

Respectfully,
Oleg
