Hi guys, thanks so much for all your responses. I sincerely apologize for being an idiot, but it turns out that the power-saving feature in windows was enabled - as I disabled this, my CPU functions perfectly! Sorry for wasting your time, but thanks again for the responses.

I had a similar problem some time ago, reapplying the thermal paste solved the problem. Is your computer reporting suspicious CPU temperatures?

Update: Did some more scanning around on the internet and after I suspected Win 10 might somehow be at fault I found a setting in MS config to enable more cores on the CPU.... Of course, I was running tests on one core instead of 8. Changing this totally rid me off my problem! Thanks to...

Will try to do that, thank you
