R50e CPU frequency stuck
I have the R50e, and it seems that CPU frequency stuck at 598 MHz.
CPU load 100%, but it seems that intel speed step won't work.
How to fix this, any suggestions?

Re: R50e CPU frequency stuck
What tool are you using to verify that it's stuck at 598MHz?
Do you have Power Manager / Battery Maximizer installed? What's the power plan?
Are you plugged in and with a working battery attached?

Re: R50e CPU frequency stuck
I used CPU-Z. PM Battery Maximizer installed with Always On plan.
It appears when plugged in and with the battery.
Tried to check on Win XP and 7 - no changes.
Also I have T42p that works fine and CPU frequency goes up and down if needed.

Sounds like a damaged (blown fuse?) charging circuit to me, which could very well impact the machine's ability to run at full speed.maxcreations wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2017 1:50 am

Re: R50e CPU frequency stuck
Oh, my mistake. I was thinking about T42p and wrote it here. Sorry. T42p problem is in the other topic.
Update:
CPU stuck when plugged in and with the battery.
