    1)
    I've undervolted my 1530 to these voltages:

    My specs are T8300 c2d, 8600m gt, 250gb 5400 rpm, 2 gig ram, 1440x900 led, 6 cell battery, a09 bios, vista home premium x32.

    My question is why can I get my multiplier's voltages so low except for the 12x multiplier's voltage? I get a BSOD if I go any lower than 1.000 for 12x, but I've done stability tests for 2-3 hours on all the other multipliers (which are at 0.9375) and they seem fine. Is this normal?

    2) When my computer starts up, before the Windows Vista loading screen, I get this error:

    Does this have anything to do with setting my voltages too low? What is the cause of this error. My battery charges up fine and I don't think I have the wrong battery?

    Thanks!

    Maybe you have the Wrong AC Adapter and not the battery, if you can get another AC Adapter test it with your computer and check if the message goes away.

    No, the AC adapter is a known issue actually, Its not from undervolting, read here:

    As for your voltages, increase the 9-11x voltages a little..

    I suggest making the 11x multiplier 1 step lower than your 12x and then your 10x lower than your 11x and so forth.
