Hello,
I have lenovo ideapad z560 with intel i3 m350 first gen processor and 2 gb ram.
After 1 hour of gaming my processor speed decreases.
when I opened CPU-Z it showed my processor was clocked at 933mhz whereas it should be at 2261mhz.
multiplier has also decreased from 17 to 7.What should I do?
 
Solution
The CPU is throttling because of temperatures. Get better cooling, clean it out with compressed air, and this should stop. A decent coooling pad and a through cleaning should help a lot.
