G750 Processor stuck at .77Ghz when unplugged [solved w/new bios]

[Musicmatters]

Experienced an unscheduled and unexpected shutdown today, after which Windows did yet another update Ever since then, the CPU has been stuck at .77GHz.

I've rebooted, shutdown, pulled the battery, and changed the power option to both high performance and the ASUS power gear settings to no avail.

Anyone know a solution to this problem?

TIA,

Craig

EDIT by cl-Albert: 1. Since the G750JW 208 bios was released first to solve this, there is also an alternate thread New 208 JX and 205 JH BIOS on support.asus.com for the G750JX and G750JH if anybody is interested.

2. Also, after you update the bios, if you have Power4Gear installed, don't forget to change the Power4Gear setting as mentioned by hmscott in this thread CPU still at .80 [solved]

3. Although it doesn't make a lot of sense, 1 member reported " the stress from folding did the trick" if anybody needs to try this: Funny thing happened with my core being stuck at .77 GhZ on battery

Updated to 208 without a problem and works as it should on my JX.

just comes to prove my point that hmscott has a crappy system or doesn't know what he's doing! working perfect here

Pitcher, I don't have a crappy system, and I do know what I am doing.

If you have the time and patience I can help you set up the same tests I am running that shows the lag.

If you aren't seeing any problems then you aren't running the system hard enough to see the lag. That doesn't mean there isn't a problem, it just means with your limited testing and usage you aren't seeing the problem.

After years of testing/evaluating systems I have tests that I use sto tress the system to find load related problems quickly.

If you are running BIOS 208 ok with your usage, then that's great. But please don't cast aspersions on those that are spending the time to find the problems, debug them to a solution, and recommend a fix to the vendor.

here you go bro to prove you it's only your system

PS: The reason you see the core speed @ 2.11 is normal that's because all 8 cores are working but in normal situations it's
@ 3.2 to 3.4 Ghz. and this test was done on battery power

no mouse jerkiness, i used the computer as well and browsed on Pale Moon it was smooth as usual

Guys, It looks like I am the only one seeing input lag on Bios 208 under CPU load, so please do try it for yourself, using the Balanced Power Plan on 208 gives me the best result now, and I am staying on 208.

I upgraded mine BIOS to 208 about 5 hours ago, played Call of Duty, Starcraft with no problem. I even tried to play Starcraft while Call of Duty is running in background and haven't experienced any lag or anything. I am happy with what my computer can do on battery. For me the new BIOS 208 covers my needs. I hope you guys get same luck with your systems.

Just updated the bios from 207 to 208 and its working fine. Now when i unplug the power its no longer stuck at 0,77ghz But nicely going up to 2,4Ghz unplugged. Thanks folks!

I just read all the way through this entire thread and tried every suggestion except the throttle blocker program and I have to say Im a little pissed. If I wanted a computer that I can only game on when its plugged in I would have bought a damn desktop. Im sitting at .8 Ghz and I do a lot of image rendering in photoshop and illustrator and the process is notably slowed when I am running on battery power. I hope ASUS fixes this or they are loosing at least one customer.

Check to see which Power Plan you have active. Switch to the Balanced Plan and see if that fixes it. For me and another person, the Asus Power4Gear Power Saving power plan, which is automatically selected when you go to battery power if the Power4Gear Hybrid package is installed, initially keeps the speed down to .79 too firmly.

You get to the power plans via Control Panel => System and Security => Power Options.

So you still experience throttling issues after updating your system BIOS?

Personally, I uninstalled Power4Gear since there is no way to disable it. Once it's gone, you have the "classic" Windows battery settings : "normal", "max perf", "energy saving" ( I've a French Windows, so those are translations).
You can re-install Power4Gear at any time, though.
