    Killed by CPU frequency change


    So I’ve been running a clean copy of 10 Enterprise x64 for a few months, never had viruses or anything weird done to it. It’s installed on a healthy SSD. The PC is a bit old (Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H, Core i5 4690, 16gb ddr3, GTX 1050Ti) but it’s perfectly fine for Windows 10 and has never had any issues. Today I noticed my bios locked my CPU at 2.91GHz when it should be 3.5 - 3.9. I enabled Intel turbo boost (which had been enabled for years before it randomly disabled itself), rebooted and boom. Preparing automatic repair, then diagnosing this pc, then repairing your pc then very quickly to an error on the blue recovery menu screen. None of the recovery or safe boot options work, I’ve tried everything and nothing works. How does windows survive massive overclocks, CPU swaps, being moved to an entirely different system, etc. while enabling a common cpu feature kills it instantly?

    Overclock cpu max frequency constantly changing in task manager

    Hi,

    I'm overclocking my Intel 8700k to 5Ghz and every time I check the current frequency in task manager the max is constantly changing. I have high-performance power settings on windows enabled and I have also disabled CPU state and Intel SpeedStep in the BIOS.
    I also noticed that when using other tools to display my GPU and CPU performance they show my CPU max frequency is exactly 5Ghz, why does Task Manager constantly display a constantly changing frequency?

    Any suggestions?

    Much appreciated

    INCORRECT CPU FREQUENCY READING

    Hello Muhammad,

    CPU usage depends on the applications that are open to your device. To isolate the problem, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

    • Can you include a screenshot of the CPU reading?
    • Have you tried performing a
      clean boot
      to eliminate software conflicts?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Overclock cpu max frequency constantly changing in task manager

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I appreciate the time and efforts to work on the issue.

    As per the description, I understand that Task manager displays constant change in CPU frequency. As you have already disabled Intel Speed Step, I suggest you to get in touch with the motherboard manufacturer.

    You can also post your query in the
    TechNet forum.

    Hope it helps.
