    CPU speed much lower than base speed

    My computer has been slow for quite a while now even while performing basic tasks such as web browsing (to the point where simply typing into a search bar can take several seconds before the computer shows me that I've typed anything) and I've finally gotten around to trying to search for a solution. I noticed that the speed listed on the performance tab of task manager is significantly lower than the base speed listed there (0.78GHz vs 2.59GHz) See here I suspect that this may be largely what is causing my problems.

    I have tried the following things to bring this speed closer to my base speed:

    • Moving the power management slider to "Best performance" See here
    • Increased the minimum processor state when plugged in to 100% See here
    • Turned off Speedstep in my Bios (which is described in the BIOS as forcing my CPU into its maximum performance mode
    • Turned off C-states in my BIOS which is described in the BIOS as allowing the processor to be put in other performance modes

    Notably I have been trying the fixes recommended in this thread: Maximum Processor Speed Lower Than It Should Be

    Any advice on steps I can take short of reinstalling Windows is greatly appreciated!

    System details:
    Dell Latitude E7450
    Intel Core i5-4310U CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.59GHz
    8.00GB RAM
    64-bit OS and processor

    my cpu is running very lower then base speed

    Why is my cpu not running at base speed

    hello

    Why isn't my CPU running at it's base speed (2,9GHz) instead it's running at 3,5-4Ghz at all times, is there any fix for this?
