Turbo Boost not activating

[ZDavid86]

Hello all,

It's simple, my computer is not activating turbo boost under stress, already checked BIOS and it doesn't even show there (it also has most greyed out)

my current BIOS is: BIOS Version/Date Insyde F.63, 10/06/2014

Some one help me please. 😞

Thank you,

BIOS has been updated as per this website and it does not give me the option to enable/disable turboboost, it doesn't even let me make any changes to performance (overclock).

Managed to instal the turbo boost monitor but it just shows me going up to 2.20 Ghz (also intel web page states that this is not supported for gen 4 processors or above}

last thing I did was update everything as per intels web page and still nothing 😞 

Anything else I can do?

updated the integrated graphics driver, I don't know if it is becuase or it being in the processor but if worked. thanks for everything here.

That only helped with the Turbo Boost issue, still checking on how to overclock it.

Back again, for some reason the issue was resolved for only when AC is disconected and the laptop is running on battery, after running a stress test cpu increased from 2.18 Ghz to 2.48 average. when on AC for some reason it stuck on 2.18 Ghz. I already checked the power settings and it is set to give 100% of processor when on both battery and AC.
