Whats wrong with my CPU?

[Apemanjoe]

I have had my laptop for about 3 months now and it the GeForce recommends ultra settings on many games and it worked for the first month but now i cant get more then 60 FPS on medium setting on games such as smite and LoL.

Specs:
SPECS:
GPU: GeForce GT 755M
CPU:Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-4700 @2.4 Ghz
8 gb ram
windows 8.1

I have updated everything and my temps while in game are 64 C for my cpu and around 60 for my GPU i dont think its to hot is my graphics card just not working properly?

Any Help is appreciated!

wow useless, but at least on page 26 they tell you how to access BIOS. We can do this now or tomorrow. Not sure how long it will take. Maybe 2 minutes, maybe 20 depending on how fast it can boot back up after you go looking around in the BIOS.

 

[damric]

The second manual is good for hardware replacements but no BIOS menus. We will find it in the BIOS though, probably in a power management section.

well funny things is i have been into my bios before but getting around inside i have no clue but also i want to thank you for all your help! and this cpu boots up rather fast and im in the ET time zone its 1230 right now and i will be on around 4 ish tomorrow!

thanks again

there is also a power management section in the control panel which i cant set the cpu performance percentage but i don't know if it goes over 100%

It will be in the BIOS called Speed Step or Turbo Core or something just needs to be enabled.

 

[Apemanjoe]

oh ok well we can find out tomorrow.

 

[Apemanjoe]

Ok I'm back and on my tablet what is the first step?

 

[damric]

Go in the BIOS.

Start fishing around through the various tabs and look for something like Turbo Core, Speed Step, ect. Might be in power management or CPU section.

 

[Apemanjoe]

Nothing in the different tabs

 

[damric]

Possibly a Windows setting then. We really need an Intel/Windows expert in here. Let me PM one.

 

[Apemanjoe]

Yeah the bios version that I have on this laptop has nooo settings to mess with really.

 

[i7Baby]

Try Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Power Options, Create a Power Plan - enable High Performance and save the plan

 

[Apemanjoe]

I already have everything on max performance I did find a place to set CPU maximum % performance

 

[damric]

Does ntune still work on laptops or is that too old? Might be worth a shot.

 

[i7Baby]

Can you increase Vcore in bios?

 

[Apemanjoe]

No there is really nothing to do in the BIOS on my laptop and I just refreshed my PC seeing if it helps

 

[i7Baby]

That's weird. Are you getting into bios by pressing F2 on start up?

 

[damric]

I wonder if there is a special combination of keys that need pressed to get advanced BIOS options. I remember the older Gigabyte BIOS used to have that crap like needing to press alt + F1 to show "advanced user options"

 

[Apemanjoe]

with windows 8 it doesn't give you a f2 option you have to do a restart that takes you into the BIOS which is defiantly not the advanced settings all it is are options like turn on safe boot and random stuff.

 

[i7Baby]

I gather the laptop is still under warranty. RMA it

 

[Apemanjoe]

That or something wasn't set right in registry. Who knows.
