So, I bought this Alienware M17 R5 (HD8970M) back 7ish years ago.
And for a while, its been running games horribly, until recently I discovered why, my GPU speed is stuck at 450Mhz. Ive turned on overclocking, ive tried MSI overclocking, Ive even tried ClockBlocker and its still set to 450Mhz and will not change at all!
It never used to be like this.
However.
I can say that the battery is always on 6% (not charging) and I HAVE to leave the charger in or else it will die. If I take the charger out, even for a millisecond, it will die.
Help? Please?
Willing to do anything to get this fixed.
