So I have a Asus K42JC core I5 laptop with a built in Nvidia 310m
I have normal Core Speed when doing normal things but whenever I open a game (Dota2/LOL) my core speed is stuck at 1000mhz

I already tried everything that is related to using high performance battery and adjusting Nvidia control panel setting things to high settings but still no good.
Ialso cant see any settings in my bios
My specs are Intel core i5 cpu m470 2.53Ghz
4gb ram
w7 64bit
 
Solution
That is a limitation of core m5. The tdp only allows the cpu to boost for some time before it has to return back to normal speeds. Also I assume you haven't made an error in writing m5 rather than i5 as they are difference cpus.
