Your processor is running at 1.2 gigahertz.
The Task Manager is known for its inaccuracies. It claims your CPU never exceeds 2.73GHz, but it actually reaches up to 3.0GHz. This discrepancy is why people avoid using it.
It seems like you've been experiencing this change for a while, and now the processor is running at 1.2GHz consistently.
Don't worry, that could complicate things. First, update the BIOS you mentioned. Then let me know again.
Take the Intel XTU board and execute a stress test. This will confirm whether your CPU is genuinely operating at 1.2GHz and identify any thermal-related lockups.
Thanks a lot. Your laptop seemed to think you were always running on low battery, and the power settings were stuck at maximum 100%.
