Hello Guys
I upgraded my machine heavily. (HP Pavilion - 15-au151tx)
Original config CPU - i5 6200U, RAM - 8GB DDR 4, HDD - 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA, Video graphics - NVIDIA® GeForce® 940MX (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)
Now it is with CPU - i5 6200, RAM 16GB DDR4, SSD - Transcend 240GB (TS240GSSD220S0), HDD - 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA, Video graphics - NVIDIA® GeForce® 940MX (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)
## The writing with Bold Letters are the upgradation..
And the problem is that when I am on battery its very very very slow , I did set it up on high performence it was a litle better but still very slow. there is no system resources usage above 30, 40, 50 max % on the ram cpu or disk.
But, when i plug in my power supply sudenly the laptop becomes rocket fast very very fast as it shoud be.
Anyone have any ideas ?
P.S. I have installed and re installed all the drivers possible, checked intel site for updates and i did them too ,no effect. Set in Intel Graphics Properties high performence too ,no efect.
Can anyone give me any solution???

@abrarhamimsajid Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that the laptop will slow work on the battery.
I would suggest you please power on the intel Turbo Boost on DC in the BIOS.
Enabling or disabling Intel Turbo Boost Technology
- From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Performance Options > Intel (R) Turbo Boost Technology and press Enter.
- Select a setting and press Enter.
- Enabled—Enables the logical processor cores on processors supporting hyperthreading technology.
- Disabled —Reduces power usage and also reduces the system’s maximum achievable performance under some workloads.
- Press F10.

Thanks a lot brother for replying, but its to be mentioned that, the problem is not solved. The solution you mentioned, is not available in my BIOS option. I knew about the solution before, but as the option was not available in my BIOS so I wasn't able to enable the Intel (R) Turbo Boost Technology.. That's the reason why I posted my problem here in the forum.
Here I attached a snap of my BIOS. Please do see it.
Awaiting your reply brother.
