hardware used to generate Timer Tics?

Hi, I’m trying to temporarily disable the timer tick
mechanism for some critical code segments.  I’ve tried shutting off several
different timers but for some reason the timer tick is still being generated,
does anyone know what piece of hardware in AMD’s k7 architecture is
generating the timer tick?

Thanks,

david
