Hi,
I was trying to undervolt my CPU following the tutorial instructions. I began at -100mV for the CPU, GPU, and RAM, which worked well. Once stability was achieved, I increased the voltage to -110mV for all components. However, my computer now crashes after a short period on the desktop. I sometimes try deleting the Throttlestop.ini file to fix this, but haven’t succeeded yet.
I searched in the BIOS for these settings but couldn’t locate them.
I’m unable to open my laptop because doing so would void my warranty.
Any advice on how to reset this?

Don't tamper with the laptop's CPU. It's already less powerful than a regular desktop CPU. Start by booting Windows in safe mode without any network connection. Next, locate the file and remove it.

Beginning Windows in Safe Mode can be challenging... the most effective approach might be to induce a crash a few times prior to startup. This can be done by pressing the power button immediately after starting, while the progress bar is still active and before it reaches the login screen. Repeating this two or three times usually allows access to recovery options, where you can select Safe Mode.

I was able to restart in safe mode by pressing Shift plus restart from the login screen and going through advanced settings. I managed to delete the ini file and can now try again. Thanks!
