My laptop doesn't work properly since yesterday and I can't even watch YouTube properly.
Today I took a look at the Task Manager and saw that the processor clock was at 0.79 GHz. Then I downloaded the GPU-Z and saw that the clock speed was really 799 MHz.
Where does it come from? I really have no idea and I haven't read anything on the internet that has anything to do with laptops.
Can you help me?
My specs:
Intel Core i5 7300HQ
8GB Samsung Ram
Amd Radeon Rx 560 2GB vram
1 TB HDD
Is it only in idle or under load. Have you ever looked at the temperatures with CoreTemp?
Do a benchmark with temperatures.
As I said, I only had the problem yesterday. Otherwise, the pc clocked higher in idle.
I have not looked at temperatures.
With which program?
Then look under load, e.g. With Prime95 and read out the temperatures at the same time.
Cinebench and / or Prime95 for CPU and 3DMark for GPU.
I've now looked at the temperatures in the idle are all at 45 degrees
Well just download prime 95
And under load? How does it clock?
The processor did not clock up with prime 95. The utilization was shown in core temp as 100%. Temperatures had risen to a maximum of 50 degrees
The clock rate did not change during the stress test either. Temperatures rose from 45 to 50 degrees and the utilization of the slide was shown to me at 100%
I will try again tomorrow hopefully i can change something
Could you use CPU-Z as a program to read out the clock rate?
I have stayed the same
Do you have your laptop in sleep mode?
No actually not
I even set the minimum line to 100% in the energy settings, nothing has changed
Then look in the BIOS if the CPU has been limited to the clock of 799.
In the bios I do not find the clock rate, only the processor is listed and next to it is 2.50 Ghz because that is the base speed
Do you have any other ideas?
Do you have any other ideas? I'm really desperate because nothing works well anymore
If I understand correctly, there's a clock rate of 799MHz in CPU-Z when you push the CPU to the limit with Prime95 and during this time the CPU is 50 ° C warm?
Sounds like a bigger problem, which laptop is it? First try to reset the BIOS.
Prime 95 was only on for a few minutes
The laptop is a lenovo legion Y520-15IKBA, the specs are already on top.
I've actually reset bios to the standard settings. But you can't set much in this shabby laptop bios anyway.
I'll get when the 2020 macbook pro 16 "comes out anyway the macbook but until then I shouldn't be able to get a little something for school with my laptop.
Mhm, you could try a BIOS update otherwise.
I saved the bios a second time and now it works again Thanks
Top! 👍
