The Windows kernel power manager publishes events to the system event log. At system initialization, the kernel power manager logs an informational event that provides a summary of the processor idle states that the system supports. Figure 6 shows an example of such an event when it is viewed with Event Viewer.
The kernel power manager also logs error events if any ACPI processor objects fail validation checks during processor driver initialization that cause any PPM capabilities to be disabled. Figure 7 shows two examples of such error events when viewed with Event Viewer.
