Hi,
Some C-states can be disabled in the BIOS if said function is a BIOS option. Some C-states can be disabled in the operating system. Review this thread for an idea on some documented C-States. Some C-States can't be disabled.
Your best option is to determine which specific C-State that you would like to disable and then google it along with the operating system that you are running.
It's really not a good idea to disable C-States.
