AMD A10-9600P CPU Limits to 1,99Ghz

[balazs2000]

Hello,

I am struggling with performance issues while using my HP Notebook.  [(15-ba072nc (ENERGY STAR)]

For some reason, my CPU limits itself to 1,99Ghz no matter what. I tried stressing the CPU with AIDA64 but it keeps the CPU limited to a maximum 83% usage and frequency mentioned above. 

In the control panel (Power Options) I set the settings to 'Max Performance'. I reinstalled the drivers and did a BIOS update as well, set the settings back to basics (factory). Nothing really helped, so the notebook is running really slow.

I have a 128Gb SSD and 8GBs of DDR4 Memory (Dual Channel). The CPU's base frequency is 2,4Ghz and has Turbo mode of 3,3Ghz.

What else should I do to solve this issue? It is really annoying because I can't even watch a 1080p Youtube video without fps drops.

Thanks for the help.

@balazs2000 Welcome to HP Community!

Here's a video on how to disable the "turbo mode" that could be causing this issue: Click here

If you aren't able to disable it permanently, use the below steps:

• If you are running windows 8 it could be an admin rights problem.
• Navigate to this folder:
• C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static
• Find CCC.exe, right click>properties>compatibility tab
• Tick the 'run this program as an administrator' option and hit ok.
• Do the same thing for MOM.exe

 You may have to restart the PC for the changes to take effect, then try disabling overdrive, restart the device again to see if it fixes it.'

Let me know how that pans out,
