newgene said:Well, for the most part, I was able to fix it by disabling the power saving function of the processor. In control panel, under power management, I was able to change from notebook to desktop mode, and that seems to have worked. However, since then, my 2.0 GHz processor is showing 995 MHz in windows, even with AC power and the mode set to desktop.
I am convinced it has to do with the functionality of the AMD processor, but man do I hate it! It is a royal PITA! The computer is literally running slower.
