Really peculiar??
Hi Guys,
I've having a weird problem on my ASUS X53TA laptop. As u may know, the A6-3400m processor is supposed to run at 1.4 GHz normally, 2.3 GHz under load and 800 MHz in idle. Instead it runs at 800 MHz ALL THE TIME.
The funny thing is it runs fine under Linux system and used to run perfectly on Windows 7 x64 before I accidentally deleted a key boot file while working under ubuntu
I re-installed Win 7 x64 and all the drivers provided in the provided DVD (like I did the first time) and everything works perfectly except the processor. I tried using K10STAT to control the CPU manually but it is STILL stuck at 800 like hell !
I tried running Prime 95 for an hour still it is at 800.
I updated all the drivers, my windows OS and the BIOS. STILL NOTHING.
I'm a Computer Science minored and I'm out of my wits. So I tried taking it to local ASUS care and they said the hardware is fine. I tried contacting AMD support and they never heard of such a problem. My games suck!!....I've a decent GPU (6650M) and my CPU is causing all the chaos.
ANY HELP?????????????? Thanks
