Actually in the DSDT the C2 seems really deactivated (latency is set to=20 the maximum, something like 999 ms) while C3 has a declared latency that=20 seems realistic. Additionally, in the C3 state, the computer works=20 perfectly. Is there anyway in Windows to check if it uses a particular C state?
