How frustratingly bad is this situation?
It's back to normal after giving it some time. Right now I'm running tests and checking everything. It might not be as fast as before, but maybe it's just my case. Thanks for your tips and letting me talk through it! Device: ASUS TUF Gaming 15.6" - TUF506IV (2020 model) Uses a Ryzen 4800H (2.9 GHz) 16GB RAM RTX 2060 Issue: CPU is stuck at 380 MHz What happened: The track-pad on this laptop has always been bad, so I opened it up to see if reconnecting the cables would help. I've done this before without problems, so the only thing left was to take out the battery. It was a simple fix with no trouble. While watching some videos on YouTube, I reconnected the cables, grabbed the battery, tightened the screws, and plugged it back in. After a few tries, it turned on and I tested it again. It booted after a short delay, which made me nervous. Once I entered Windows login, I felt relieved but soon realized the system was really slow. After restarting, I went into safe mode. The CPU ran at its normal speed of 2.9 GHz, so I thought maybe a component was faulty. This was my school computer—built in 2020-21, not expensive. Still need a portable option for classes, so I might have to buy another cheap notebook. I really don’t want to spend too much on this laptop. Any advice for fixing or diagnosing would be great. I doubt ASUS can help much. If you know what I could have done to prevent this, let me know. Thanks ahead. Edit: If a small board part is the issue, depending on how hard it is, I might try fixing it myself. Edited May 2, 2022 by Bianks84 More info, update
It seems to be functioning correctly, likely just a minor sensor issue. No need to worry—switching to the Ryzen Balanced power management should help.
It seems the system is operating in safe mode. A few apps might be running games or interacting with your sensors.
This feature turns off all TYRBO options and also affects various drivers, making it essentially a basic Windows setup.
