Turbo Boost not working, and only 2 cores functioning on a 6700k?

Games like CSGO and Overwatch are considerably choking (40-60% fps drops) more than they used to over the last 2-3 days, and upon checking performance stats seem to be eating up tons of CPU, from around 70-90%, where it used to take up only 20-30% at max (On a 6700k). I have also reinstalled GPU drivers, (GTX 1080) which made no discernable difference. I think this may be due to the new windows update, which I noticed made alt tabbing in and out of games take far longer than it used to. Then, a huge breakthrough. After scanning through all my stats, I discovered two things. https://imgur.com/a/UXTYeZP It says that I only have 2 cores, with 4 logic cores, although the 6700k is a quad core CPU, and I am absolutely certain that it has been running at 4 cores/8 logical cores previously. The other thing, is that it has not been turbo boosting at all, and stays at a constant 4.01GHz all the time. This is super weird, and I don't really understand what is happening here. I probably need some new drivers or something, but can't find any that seem to be what I need. Thanks.

RESOLVED: go to "System Configuration > Services > Advanced Options > deselect "Number of processors" Sorry about the fuss. Hopefully this solves the problem for anyone else!

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
