System halted at 800 MHz speed.
System halted at 800 MHz speed.
I'm a regular CSGO player. The 'var' value jumped from 0.4 to 21. I began playing Valorant. After using After Burner, I noticed the game launches smoothly after 2 minutes. The CPU initially locks at 2100Mhz (my CPU model 17-8750H) and then drops to 800Mhz without recovering. I reinstalled Windows, adjusted power settings for high performance, and ensured the minimum CPU usage is at 100%. Please help me.
Consider trying ThrottleStop 9.0 for a fix. It helps disable BD PROCHOT, which can resolve the issue where the CPU throttles to 800 MHz. Clearing BD PROCHOT stops external signals from reaching the CPU, but overheating can still cause thermal throttling. Share many photos and enable the log file option if you need assistance.
Verify the temperatures; I suggest using HWinfo in sensor mode (a simple menu will guide you on how to start the app). It might be overheating. Turning off a key safety feature would be a good idea. Suggesting someone else to handle it is a higher level of insight.
The system reported EC sensor activity that could affect performance. You should investigate the sensor logs and ensure it’s functioning correctly. If issues persist, consider recalibrating or checking connections.
The heat for just checking the web would be too high, so the thermal paste needs replacing—this means you'll have to open it up. The software approach uses underclocking (like Throttlestop or Intel XTU) which can work alongside repasting. I anticipate staying under 60°C during browsing.
