my PC started chugging recently and on a whim, I checked the task manager and it said my CPU is running at 780mhz. nothing I do will make it boost to anything higher than that. I'll list what I've done to try to fix so far.
1) changed from balanced performance to high performance, restarted, no change.
2) changed from higher performance to maximum performance, restarted, no change.
3) tech said to change the intelppm start in the register to 4 from 3 and restart. changed to 3.4ghz, the stock speed. tech said to return it to the previous setting and restart again. returned to 780mhz. performance was still set to maximum and still is right now.
so my CPU refuses to run anything higher than 780mhz, no matter what the performance / power is set to, unless we tell the system to run it at base clock permanently. I'd rather avoid that as it's in my M900x Tiny with a blower that gets bloody loud when it's got to cool things down.
any thoughts as to what's going on?
