Just a few days earlier I encountered the problem of my CPU maxing out at 0.77ghz. Its an i7-4700mq, and that should not be the case. I know it isn't overheating because it feels cooler then it ever has before during idle, it is really slowing down games such as minecraft, TF2, etc. I don't know what the problem is, may have been an automatic update, but I don't see any other problem. My laptop model is down below, all though I have upgraded the 1Tb HDD to a 240 Gb SSD. Definitely not because I am in power saver mode, not because of overheating, not because of power problems. My CPU utilization almost never goes over 30% now either. ANyone know how to fix this or have a similar problem?
