You should cease increasing the processor speed beyond its recommended limits in Windows 10.
You should cease increasing the processor speed beyond its recommended limits in Windows 10.
After switching to windows 10, my hp pavilion pc behaves like it's racing and becomes extremely hot. People say it's an overclocking problem. I didn't experience this before the w10 upgrade. I'm really sorry about it, but now I'm worried that this new overclocking might damage my PC.
Initially, I have a few questions about your setup.
What type of processor are you running? You should see its model on the front panel of your case, whether it's AMD or Intel.
What is the maximum advertised clock speed listed for your processor? To find this, open settings, navigate to system, click about, and check the processor section.
Proceed to System BIOS—on HP systems, it’s typically F10 at startup, though this might vary. Then move to Advanced BIOS Settings, which may differ based on whether you have a traditional or UEFI BIOS, and review your current maximum clock settings. Overclocking involves adjusting your CPU clock speeds beyond the original specifications.
Probably not related to the operating system itself, but to another program you added. Just reinstalling Windows 10 will fix it.
Basroil:
Who actually claimed it was overclocking? It seems unrelated to the operating system at all—probably something else you added. Just reinstalling Windows 10 should fix it. After upgrading from W10, games on Pogo.com or BigFishGames.com start causing overheating due to acceleration issues. I haven’t installed anything since the upgrade and it didn’t happen before. Others have told me W10 triggers overclocking too; my older laptops with W7 don’t do this, so I won’t upgrade them. If you know what’s causing this, let me know. Thanks.
before saying that w10 active oc please check ur self?
simple program to literally see if ur gpu cpu whatever is oc'ed?
So here are my questions:
What kind of processor are you using? It should be visible on the front of your case, indicating whether it's AMD or Intel.
What is the advertised maximum clock speed for your processor? You can find this by clicking settings, then going to system, selecting about, and checking the processor section.
Proceed to System BIOS—on HP systems, it’s usually F10 at startup, though that might vary. Then navigate to Advanced BIOS Settings, which may differ based on whether you have a traditional or UEFI BIOS. Finally, review your current maximum clock settings. Overclocking involves setting your CPU clock speeds higher than the original specifications.
Also, scan for viruses, as they can overload the CPU, leading to overheating, slow performance, or crashes.
If all else fails, consider a reinstall.
Cole_9 is asking about the processor details. They need to know the front panel label indicating whether it's AMD or Intel. They also want to find out the advertised maximum clock speed, which can be checked in settings under system, then advanced bios, and finally the current maximum clock settings. Overclocking refers to increasing CPU speeds beyond the original specifications. Additionally, they mention scanning for viruses that might cause overheating or performance issues. If other options don't work, a reinstall is suggested.
Thank you!
