Hi friends, tutorial today will show you how you can determine the power consumption of your computer to and thus the amount of money that you are forced to pay monthly for electricity consumed by the computer, the operation is very simple, we just need 3 things.
1. A free software which is called Joulemeter.
2. Or at a desktop in Windows (Start / All Programs / Accessories / PC), for calculating consumption weekly, monthly or annually.
3. The average price for 1 KWh (kilowatt hour).
You will see in the video tutorualul is not hard to find out how computer use, need to do a few simple calculations to determine consumption per day, week, month or even year.
Below are instructions original software, Joulemeter is soft in alpha stage, meaning it is in a development phase, as you know versions through which a soft ditch following: Pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta, RC (release candidate) , RTM (release to marketing) and finally GA version is the final version set for official launch on the market, our software (Joulemeter) is in Alpha phase, likely in the future will get more features and better looking interface.
We must understand any errors that may occur during its use, in any case software goes pretty well, considering that it is in a development phase.
Joulemeter official software instructions:
Information on the date displayed
Power Consumption:
BASE: The minimum power drawn by the when powered on this computer.
CPU: Additional power drawn depending on CPU utilization (with processor workload changes and frequency).
Disk: Additional power drawn due to disk activity (changes with IO workload)
Monitor: Additional power drawn by the monitor (monitor changes the when Turned on and on laptops with LCD brightness).
Total: Total current drawn power.
Average: Average of the total power drawn over time, since installation of Joulemeter.
Power Consumption (from default model) That power implies time is Foreca Using generic power usage Assumptions, based on typical usage for type of machine (laptop, desktop).
Power Consumption (learned from model) That power implies Foreca date Using the model is specific to your machine and is more accurate. See "Calibration" Instructions.
Statistics (since ...) since the Specified Measures Accumulated usage time.
Slept time includes time in the when the machine WAS Sleep, Hibernate, or Shutdown modes. Power usage in THESE modes is negligible for most machines.
Awake Indicates the total time duration for Which WAS on the machine.
Estimated Consumption Indicates the total energy Used by the machine. The error in the estimate depends on the power model, used. The error is low When the Power Consumption section Shows "model learned from."
Calibration
Learn the power model for your machine to get more accurate power again. For laptops, the when the battery is at Least 75% Charged, disconnect the power cord. For desktops, to connect WattsUp meter (see Instructions at the project webpage). Then, go to the Windows Start button, find the folder in your Joulemeter programs, expand it, and start Joulemeter Calibration.

Good afternoon. Not to mention how much we consume a laptop, desktop per month because we do not know how use display or monitor. I installed the little program myself. It's pretty interesting. Thanks for the tutorial.
I've seen that giving and their consumption, sorry. Remains to be seen how accurate is the program.
In my amers foasrte install fine, but when given an opening and sal is currently open is closed. What could it be?
Excuse me for not seeing him go into the system tray.
Please excuse me.
very good tutorial, note 10 +. But I can not install this little program, it gives me eroare.error 1001 the specified service already exists.
Unfortunately neither me not install: (
And I have the same problem.
Just me and give me the installation?
Cur greet a month and I pay £ 120 WONDER HOW MANY DC?. Miata NOT TO SAY??? Why pay so much
Very good looking old this tutorial even something which to measure the consumption or even to know how use a desktop because I was going to buy one I hope ami future year and scares me all sorts of people like that, consuming and merita.Eu not have a laptop now but I want to purchase a desktop ami now that I saw how you consume the d-voastra.Chiar deloc.Si does not seem much like you said I would not have thought related to the 24 / 24.Poate 4 8-hour which would ansemna quite acceptable as a consumer.
I still have a problem installing this software but I get the following error: unable to find an entry point named 'RegisterPowerSetingNotification'in DLL'user32'. Xp.Multumesc I use windows
and give me error istalare
To me it says: No battery or meter found. Calibration can not proceed.Nu go.
Very instructive tutorial. The program works very well.
It remains to be seen how exactly calculated consumption.
Installation Error:
Error 1001. The specified service already exists
and give me the same error someone help me please!
No I could not install the program.
Can not run on Windows XP although the net is specified kit for xp
My installer doesn't work at all, at the end of the installer it gives me an error and says that it couldn't start the service… and I went to services and I still can't start it gives me an error… don't you know some alternative software ??
yes it's very interesting tutorial, I want to do and I do unfortunately NET Framework Megre I say I have it already you can do?
In my work installed but when I open it show no turnover to any CINP there, show what looks Cristi besides CINP figures show each step of representing and W (vati) but show numbers! What could it be intinplat? I uninstalled lam!
Do you have a computer prodigy who do not eat anything :))
solved any problem with the existing program
bv for tutorial unfortunately gives me error 'RegisterPowerSetingNotification'in DLL'user32'
so much I wanted to see how I consume pc perhaps in future versions, the final will go
From comenarile you see that I read about two guys just install and go, and you please give some amanutite explain May I see that the majority who have installed the same error
(Error 1001. The specified service already exists)
NET Framework have it all and still does not work 2,3,3,5 an idea about who would try and virtual cauza.Am 7 windows and all the same error as others I have
Works well f [THIS JOULEMETER] looked after broad installed right next to the clock there is instalat.mersi for tutorial and more.
I do not know how good it is or how reliable prog:
I did testu Monitor [LCD] ami 50w show off and everything.
Well how do you know how you look if you had the monitor off?
in the meantime no one has found a solution to that error? I did a google search after that error and it seems to be a programming problem… I didn't go into details. if someone manages to solve it, please tell us how.
Joulemeter open, close monitor, press the Print Screen key, open the monitor and save the images year paint, simple!
I think have worked so sure about that
I've installed it on a desktop, a laptop and a netbook tote 7 and I had windows installed without any problem.
I do not know what to say to that, each of you have other settings to your computer, as you have seen enough people who run the program without any problem.
In terms of trust, I want you to look at the url where you downloaded the program from, if you can't trust it there either.
Look carefully through your services, pote have something off, windows may have changed sites.
I have run the software in front of you, you need more proof?
Above all, you should note that it is a soft Alpha phase!
Thank you very much Sir CRISTI ptr windows7 supertare Enterprise.Este a soft compared to the one that had pirated lam.
You are right with pirated software.
Once again thank you very much and excuse me where I posted the comment ptr but to see it all, and not the pirated software.
Vam said about English, not everyone knows English disappointed me sir !!!

I forgot to mention that I run Windows 7.
Waiting for an answer to my question.
I also give the same error. Error 1001. The specified service already exists / Maybe you should CV installed before you install the program JOULEMETER
Hey now I wanted to install this program and I give while installing the error occurred and installation 1001 stopped anyone knows how I can fix this problem? Thanks
He doesn't show me anything like "Shefu` You have a miracle computer that doesn't consume anything either." So is mine.
I wonder where I can buy many great PC.
I have installed programelu but show no figure, why??
Somewhere down the left side write connectio w / julmeter service disruped
Exsist a program to increase the rami Using his memory 7 hard on windows? That memory of hard sati 2 doing a gig or something like it can on Windows 7?
For starters you need to understand how a PC works. EVERYTHING a PC does must go through RAM. The PC cannot read and process the information directly from the HDD without that information / data passing through the ram. Basically, the RAM loads the data to be accessible for the CPU. Conclusion: You can NOT use the hdd or a part of the hdd as RAM (ie virtual RAM), because the data will still MUST pass through the REAL RAM to be processed and you still did nothing but get drunk with cold water ”… AND buy some real ram if you have too little because they are not who knows how expensive… they are really affordable.
I know that CES nus expensive and I know I intreabt real rami only on linux can be part Dinal to stay and I was thinking that it can not and 7 was just curious.
What do you called Swap. a buffer that has nothing to do with what you think!
Write up in the search box on the top right of black: Ready Boost, hit enter and you will find a tutorial. It's not what you want but it's somewhere close. What do you do not really possible because one is a flash memory which has no mechanical parts functioning as a hard disk and the other is having a speed read / write waaaay lower than a memory. Would not give any output and not worth what you want!
Sorry to bother, I have a problem with this program Joulemeter, I downloaded I installed it: it's all well and good when a date gives me an error, and that error is called: Error 1001. The specified service already exists, do you think I can help me with something, I do not know what to do: they need to reinstall Windows: because I am using Windows XP, I installed Windows 7 da park has too many effects and annoys me a little so I stuck with XP, but I do not know how to defend that I no longer error Error 1001. The specified service already exists, that pisses me off and I can not install the program, if you have useful tips and troubleshooting the program: please contact [email protected]
on windows xp sp 2 this program goes dc?
I do not think that has to do with your OS. For example gave me a friend (student mate-info) 2 an XP service pack. And according to him, this would be a copy of xp an original. Later I integrated service pack 3 with nLite. So I pulled a modified Windows torrents.
And yet the joulemeter is not installed on windows xp service pack 3 either (same error… 1001). By the way, I tested it in a virtual car on windows 7, just like… he doesn't want it there either.
Rather I think it would be incompatible with certain hardware configurations. Not matter what operating system you use: xp sp2, sp3 xp, vista, 7.
However, it is an alpha program… There are quite high chances of various problems when installing or running. It is an unstable software (at least on some computers).
hello. go joulemeter
poi go on vista and windows exeact 7 and delivery dates is very good and efoarte joulemeter
it tells me I can not find the web server
Congratulations tutorial and I have a rugaminte.Puteti make a tutorial about installing and using IncrediMail??
hi cristi but it's just a laptop??
This program does not measure video card? I see that is not listed in serious metering and video cards consume some energy
What you get in setup file give place to go Aimi appear as loaded but it gives me eror 1001 the specified service alredy exist why oare.va please help me.
HELLO, YES THE TUTORIAL IS GREAT, BUT FIRST I CAN'T DOWNLOAD THE APPLICATION, HOWEVER I FOUND IT ELSEWHERE ON A SITE, IT'S THE SAME AS YOURS, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK, IT REMAINS LIKE IT DOESN'T SEE THE COMPUTER ERROR MESSAGE IS MICROSOFT.NET FRAMEWORK UNABLE TO FIND AN ENTRY POINT NAMED “REGISTER POWER SETTING NOTIFICATION” IN DLL USER 32, FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF EXPLANATIONS.
DO YOU THINK THIS P4 2400 1GB PC IS TOO OLD, I WANTED TO KNOW MY SON HOW TO CONSUME THIS PC… THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ANSWER.
CRISTIAN
Sometimes I wonder READ MESSAGES THAT MAY CONCERN IN GOOD READ THESE ARTICLES AND LEARN WITH PASSION the tutorial, but maybe they want and answers to their questions, not right now because I want to upset someone but it seems correct, pay attention, since again thank nice response to what I wrote.
Sometimes I wonder, read all the existing comments, by the poster, before making the decision to ask or ask the same question that has been asked many times and to which Cristi answered on page 1 of the comments from this tutorial? If you look below the last comment that you write in block letters as if we were chiori… you would see that this tutorial has 2 pages of comments you and I now, we are on page 2 of comments from this tutorial. At each tutorial you can post a certain number of comments, if it is exceeded a new comment page is automatically created for that tutorial and so under the last comment here on this page you have:
[Page 2 of 2] [<<] [1] [2]
If you click on the box 1 ([1]) will reach 1 comments page of this tutorial, where Christ-admin replied to the reasons why this app does not work! Find 1 so on Cristi-admin comment. Do not post in capital letters, not the other but we are not blind and gives us the feeling that you guys here, and it's beautiful. I do not owe you anything, answer comments if we, if we have time, and if your question is new. If someone else has asked the same question as you do not make sense to repeat the same thing 30 times that you want me! It's your fault if you do not read all the comments from a tutorial!
It gives me an installation error, I don't know why honestly
Do you know?
I have problems with Windows not work well without errors.
yes install super ushoara but gives me the following message when opening .. Dunno dc: year Unable to find entry point named 'RegisterPowerSetingNotification'in DLL'user32.
every time I turn on my PC box appears that says the following:
This program requires at least Windows 2000 1.60 with SPTD or newer.
Any 'kernel debugger' must be disabled "ajutatima !!!!!!!!!!!
every time I turn on my PC box appears that says the following:
This program requires at least Windows 2000 1.60 with SPTD or newer.
Any 'kernel debugger' must be disabled "ajutatima!!!!
This program is more of a "friction"
First, I'm not convinced privinca accuracy. In this program shows that the CPU consumes about 5-10W idde and in CPUID HWMonitorPro 1.08.0 look almost double.
And in the second video card does not show consumption.
I installed pc kept one hour
every time I turn on my PC box appears that says the following:
This program requires at least Windows 2000 1.60 with SPTD or newer.
Any 'kernel debugger' must be disabled "and sometimes gives me error ajutatima !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Average: 123,58 W
Time Slept: 30,29 hours
Time awake: 21: 38 hours
Estimated Consumption: 2,64 Kwh
I do not think the program is good for the current version may be in the final. I'm very much about 3 kwh consumption. I have a last generation computer, nor the time is Grandma. The processor is an Intel Pentium eg 4 630 single nucleus.
if you believe someone is lying and you enter the Intel website and search for your processor specs and you'll be amazed how real it is and how much power your CPU consumes praised!
Hi friends! I see here that dragonuroshu was scared of heavy consumption. I correctly believe that "Average" should be calculated not multiplied by 24 hours, but by how many hours the PC stays on: 6, 4, 2 hours, etc. it depends on each. if you redo the calculation in less hours you will see a reasonable result. In my opinion!
It's not about the average, it's about "Estimated Consumption"
I can not understand it well eestimativ consumption is not eating for one hour of operation, but the total time of operation. That is not consumed 2,64 kw in an hour, but in 30,29 hours. cosum see it's estimated that up.
go not give me error during installation
Interesting Cristi program, I was really thinking of getting a "toy" to measure my average computer consumption but this option is much cheaper. fain
istaleaza give to me when I turn it on it does not look comsumu show dll error
I do not think any ETSI and a computer to consume consume so much kwh 3 central heating and enormously item
I have windows 7 ultimate and it gives me error 1001 I don't know why but every time it does the same… .write that it is already installed but it is not checked >>>> it does not work on several operating systems as I read more up !!!!
I have windows and I go perfect software 7
Yes it looks like I solved the problem with this program joulemeter see that this program does not work on Windows XP even if you sp3 or sp2, this program I installed on a Windows 7 and go, just so I could test the program I I downloaded a Windows versiunde enterprise 7 the torrent and now I go joulemeter 7 enterprise Windows installed, I believe that this application is made only for Windows 7 have Windows Vista, for XP does not work on any how.
And by the way I 120w total consumption (watt) well understood for computer art I am namely:
Processor: IntelCore i5 of 2.66 GHz (8M Smart Cache)
Video Card: nVidia GeForce PCI-e 9800GT CUDA, Memory Video512 Mb / 256 bit
Video Memory Type: DDR3
Hardisk Sata, Sata type of 2 500 Gb
3 DDR RAM (1066 MHz) 6 GB
Drive Read Write: DVD + /-RW
Source 600 W
And honestly say is a last generation PC I say all these new parts and price have given so little 3.153,0 31 million so I say yes I calculated I can not properly
Yes I forgot to put the count and monitor: Philips 170C which is said to have integrated technologies:
SmartImage, SmartContrast, 5ms, HDCP ready, TrueVision, SmartControl and DualInput FlameRetardant mean in Monitor VGA and DVI inputs.
If you put so much into it, it's worth putting a better and better video card. Aaa… don't forget, your video card is not the latest generation at all! If I could say and I hope you don't mind, it spoils almost the whole "look" in the praises you wrote above.
I installed a fresh windows install and went (but before the Windows reinstall did not work). Thank you for what you do.
Enlighten me and me with something there to show how consumed Estimated Consumption pc in total or just how many kW consumed per hour? Reading the other reviews but not enlightened me so well.
don't be upset da it gives me error 1001..the specified service arleady exists… it tells me i already installed it …… but i don't have it ..can you advise me on my hand too?
to me all that my error appears 1001. I have Windows XP installed sp2 not much.
expect a new version of softl can you go. I looked at the settings and enabled.
Where do I find myself now price for KW of electrical Bucuresti?
if you keep presenting interesting programs, the checks from AZ will go to everyone or specify why it gives so many errors and it doesn't work. So far this Joulemeter has been beta and I understand it has errors but now it's alpha and the same errors? It tells me when I want to open it… ”unable to find an entry point named“ RegisterPowerSettingNotification ”in dll” user32 ″ .What else to believe?
1.Din I know of a program is first alpha, then beta version, followed by a number of other versions until the final so I do not know where you pulled that program was in beta.
Why do not you do an art critic?
Error 1001. The specified service already exists
Solution:
# Click "Start" then "Run". The window "Run" type in Regedit and press ENTER.
# Find the following registry path:
# HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services
# Delete registry joulemeter services.
# Restart the computer and application reintalati
success
Aswy. Hold you still have not done that work just like you to delete from there and still can not install.

Regards, Stefan
Hello. I also have a question: if this program is so good, why does it show me at 1000W CPU consumption when it is in full load (I used prime95)…. I do not think that my processor (AMD X2 4600+) consumes in addition to the 65W (base) another 1000W… if it can clarify me cnv…. Thanks in advance
I opened it `Joulmeter and I left about an hour and I do not show anything and write it down .. Not yet connected to service. No Connection Could Be Made Because The Target Machine Refused it actively 127.0.0.1: 24538
Hello, I looked at the video, read the comments, I gughelit, I cheat without any of the above mentioned problem, and now measures. Cam watts 120 show to see in a few days. Thank you. Oh yes, are w7 Home Basic, and joulemeter's all alpha.

Great tutorial !!!
ms for tutorial :))))) unfortunately pulled Joulemeter and forced me out of the net netframework although I sp3 Windows installed on PC that is included netframework full version. (I 3 installs) ps: I'll try to remove the portable version.
