Hi all,
Sorry for the alarming title, but I need some help!
Installed SP2 on my Asus W1 (1.7Ghz Dothan PM) last night after over a years happy ownership, minus the slight problems with heat. Needed to get SP2 on as the service for SP1 end in October.
Anyway, all is well, except I notice a heavy slow down (and the usual Microsoft tampering). Once I get all the settings normal, the laptop is feeling slower and slower. I loaded up RMclock to check what was going on and for the first time saw my CPU being throttled badly.
When on battery power as standard, the CPU should sit at 600mhz, but for some reason, the processor was being throttled down to 350mhz (roughly). The kernal load was also 100% and CPU load. After a minute or two, the kernal and CPU settled down, but my processor remained badly throttled.
Temps were all good, processor was @ 41 and hadn't been higher than 51 all night. Even when I put it on AC (should be full 1.7Ghz) the CPU was throttled back instantly to about 1.1Ghz. Just to claify, I have checked all settings in RMclock.
If anyone has a solution I'd be extremely greatful, I have a tonn of work to do on this laptop and now is not the time for PII-esk performance.
Thanks everyone!
