HP Pavilion Laptop 15ec
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics, 3.30 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
8 GB RAM
This started yesterday, and earlier that day my laptop was running plugged in just fine, but the second time I opened it that day my CPU had hiccups of being capped at 0.4 GHz before going back to its normal speed for a few seconds or even pinballing between normal and 0.4 GHz constantly. I reinstalled all my drivers, restarted multiple times, reinstalled the battery, check my power plan settings to make sure those were normal, ran multiple antivirus scans, defragmented my disk and used chkdsk to see what any of these could be causing the sudden throttling assuming I changed absolutely nothing.
The last possible culprit appears to be something with the CPU's ability to draw power when plugged in, because as the title states I get normal performance, granted limited at speeds of 1.8 GHz, without being capped at 0.4 GHz when plugged out. Using CoreTemp, I seem to be getting 4W when plugged in, periodically switching to normal voltage, and whenever the laptop is plugged out I get the ordinary voltage I would need to run games or even some light software normally. When idle the laptop runs fine regardless. I seem to have tried everything that could pertain to the issue, so it might be that I have to replace my CPU which I'm trying to avoid since that would mean getting a new laptop even though everything else works fine including the battery itself.
