guys i think something is up with the iGPU on the cpu
because in UEFI, it is showing total memory like this now:
Total Memory : 8192MB with 64MB Shared Memory and 2MB GTT Memory
ive never seen the bit about shared memory and gtt memory before
I know you have checked the temperatures in Windows, but how about the BIOS?
Is the CPU fan connected to the CPU fan header? If so, what speed numbers are you getting for that fan?
Once thing you could try, is to set the CPU fan the max speed and see if that changes anything.
It's Saturday night & I'm going out.. Have FUN!
None. The none parameter tells the computer not to slow the processor at all, even if it's just burning up cycles and battery power doing nothing.
Not here to troll that's for sure, but IT IS SATURDAY NIGHT & SHE'S WAITING! Good luck...
And I wanted to ask before I forget, has this setup done this from day one?
I had a similar issue in Windows on one laptop when I was trying to keep my CPU at lowest frequency. Windows ignored both my BIOS and Control Panel settings, so I ran POWERCFG as admin and changed my current scheme from ADAPTIVE to CONSTANT. You might have to do something similar but change it from ADAPTIVE to NONE instead.
Sounds like a power limitation. Played with max amp/TDP?
Also if it says 4Ghz then you dont run stock settings as you should when trying to debug.
If you are atMy powercfg doesn't show the same type of information, or I might just not be doing it right.
I am running it from C:\>windows\something
how do I get the prompt back to just C:\>
C:\Windows\Something
cd C:\
If you are attypeCode:C:\Windows\Something
to get to the root level.Code:cd C:\
Powercfg can output a lot of information, and the scroll buffer might not be big enough to catch everything. You may have to change your scroll buffer. Click on the top left corner where it shows the logo of the C:, and click Properties. In the Screen Buffer Size, change the Height value to something like 999, before running powercfg /query.
Are other tools showing the same clock speed? If you have Windows 8, Task Manager shows you current CPU Frequency.
Yes I noticed that, when I ran powercfg it scrolled through what seemed like many pages of information, and I was unable to scroll all the way back to the start of it. Will try again.
Guys... just a random thought.. could the CMOS battery on my motherboard be borked?
Mine is dead. If I unplug my computer for the night then plug it back in and turn it on, the clock resets to January 1st 1988 every time. Now that you mention it, maybe this is why my BIOS settings never get saved.Guys... just a random thought.. could the CMOS battery on my motherboard be borked?
