Hello, two days ago I transferred my PC to another user and everything seemed okay. I was using OCCT, CINEBENCH, and SUPERPOSITION benchmarks, and everything looked normal. Now there are some issues. The computer runs very slowly, Chrome installation takes a long time, opening files is slow, and Windows 10 starts up in about five minutes. What should I do? Is there a fix? IMG_7246.MP4

Your CPU runs at 0.25Ghz under any circumstances—it shouldn't be this low. Normally it drops to about 0.8Ghz when idle, but any workload will raise it well above that. I recommend resetting the BIOS and verifying your CPU temperatures.

Considering the previous discussion, the initial step would be examining the BIOS. Perhaps resetting by disconnecting the battery for a short time could resolve the issue. Only after trying it will you know what works. There’s a lot of information in the BIOS, and accidentally altering the wrong setting somewhere might have caused the problem. Resetting the BIOS would likely be my first action before exploring further. As I age, I realize the value in following simple, time-tested methods—often simplifying complex challenges into manageable steps. Dwight D. Eisenhower

Also verify that the CPU's minimum and maximum power settings within the Power Plan match a single low value, with a range of at least 5% and up to 100%. This is typically considered standard.

Wire became lodged in the CPU fan and wasn’t rotating. The processor temperature hovered around 100-105°C. It looks like everything is now normal. Appreciate the help!
