I need help troubleshooting my p55w. It's performance has degraded massively. Can anyone help me diagnose and fix this?
I bought a gigabyte p55w v4 about a month and a half ago from newegg. It worked perfectly for about 2 days, then my fps dropped from 80 to 15 (in mwo and star citizen) after tweaking some stuff in the nividia control panel and running the system on max performance with the fans at 100% i was able to get back to 80 fps and chalked it up to my system automatically going into power saver and using the integrated graphics instead of the 970m. I had no issues until last week when the problem came back, since then I've noticed a few things. 1) i get a kernal error in my event log: event 37, saying that my cpu is self throttling due to lack of power and my laptop occasionally starts auto switching from ac to battery over and over. when i unplug the laptop and run it on high performance the fps stays at around 15-18 and when i plug it in it jumps between 9-50. Any ideas?
