Hi Dicko,

I don't find any solution but the workaround of TarunJain is working:

Hi Jim,
It's the byproduct of new Processor Power Management feature in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
You can download the document and see how it affects the system performance.
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/powermgmt/ProcPowerMgmt.mspx

Reduced performance state is 0 seconds so It's not a error message.
If you don't want to receive this event then simply turn off its support in BIOS.
1. Enter BIOS by pressing F9 on POST
2. Navigate to "Power Management Options" => "Advanced Power Management Options" => "Minimum Processor Idle Power State"
3. Choose "No C-States"


So you have 2 choices:

1- Ignire these events

2- Disable C-State
