    CPU clock speed drops to 0.39ghz when playing any games


    When I run any somewhat demanding games my CPU's clock speed drops to 0.39ghz or some insanely low clock speed and my fps fluctuates between like 1 and 140mostly around 1-30 fps. But this only happens when my laptop is plugged in, when the laptop is unplugged while running the same games, my fps is capped at 30 no matter what I do. In this video you can see my fps fluctuate and how choppy the game istop left: VideoCPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon GraphicsGPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050

    CPU and GPU clock speeds drop under load

    I'm having a weird problem with my laptop where, every few seconds during playing high-load games, the CPU and GPU both drop speed sharply for a second, causing a big slowdown in framerate. (For instance, the CPU speed will suddenly drop from about 3.4 GHz
    to less than 0.8 GHz). At the same time, the screen's brightness will dip as well, which suggests to me that it's related to my power settings. It also seems to happen more frequently when I'm charging a low battery than when the battery is full - I've even
    had it happen while streaming video when I'm charging from a low battery.

    I've tried switching my power plan settings so that everything is the same for "On battery" and "Plugged in", which solves the brightness changing but does not solve the speed drop. I've also tried monitoring the temperatures of the GPU and CPU but they never
    seem too high. I've tried clean installs, updating drivers, etc. I don't have anything overclocked. I've had the laptop for a about a year and the problem is quite new, and seems to be getting worse.

    Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.8GHz

    16 GB RAM

    NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

    Low CPU Speed While Gaming on Battery Mode

    Hi, so the problem started recently on my laptop. My CPU speed when not gaming is around 2.3 GHz and above. However, whenever I play a game, my CPU clocks down to 0.79 GHz and stays there until I close the game. I also checked my temperature while gaming, which is around 60 °C. I tried changing the maximum processing unit to both 100% and it still didn't work. But if I plug a 300W AC adaptor into my laptop, the CPU speed goes up to 4 GHz. Is there any fix for low CPU clock speed while gaming on battery mode?
