I've got a peculiar problem with my laptop.
A while back, the power socket stopped working, so I got a new motherboard, and since then it's been acting kinda weird.
I've got a Intel i7-2630QM at 2.0GhZ with 2.8GhZ turbo boost.
Under regular use, it runs at full speed, and I can see the turbo boost monitor jumping up to 2.8GhZ to meet need. But under any kind of constant load, it clocks down to 800MhZ and just sits there.
When I go in the windows power management, and sets processor minimum and maximum frequency to 99%, it runs stable on 1995MhZ, and doesn't clock down at all, so I'm thinking it might have something to do with the turbo boost thingie?
I just tried reinstalling windows, and cleaning out the fan and reapplied termal grease to the heatsing.
Before I reinstalled windows, I could see graphs for termal trottling and cpu frequency in the intel extreme tuning software, and when I set the CPU to 100%, the termal throttling graph rose to 100%, despite the temperature not being over about 75'
I'm not sure what more info to provide, but if anyone has any tips, or know about something that can be done, that'd be great.
It runs stable on 1995MhZ, and it does work, but it's kinda annoying that I can't use the turbo boost function.
