Hello all,
I am having an issue with a brand new Dell Precision 5530.. The system was extremely laggy and slow right out of the box. This seemed of for a fairly high end system. I did a complete re-install of Windows 10 and the problem persisted. I did some Googling and found multiple threads about processor throttling causing this issue. I downloaded CPU-Z as instructed in a thread on the dell support forums and found that my processor was being capped at 800mhz. I found several other threads that had a few suggestions to fix the issue.
Using a program called Throttlestop to turn of BDProchot - This had no effect on my system. Even with BDprochot unchecked my CPU was still capped at 800mhz
Remove back cover - unplug battery. I tried this multiple times for multiple intervals and pressing and holding the power button for different lengths of time. This did not fix my issue.
Used the Dell utility to update all drivers - No change
Updated BIOS from 1.50 to 1.60 - No change
One odd thing that I did notice. The CPU does not appear to be throttled when I boot in safe mode. Because it's a fresh install of Windows this leads me to believe it's a driver issue but I have no idea where to start looking. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
