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

JH: I never had any lag issues when on battery even though throttled. Could even watch youtube just fine. I only play games when plugged in, wouldn't generally play on battery.

So my concern is, if I update and continue my generally light use when on battery, would I still get the 3 - 4 hours of battery life? (would probably have to use power saving mode etc...)

Why game while on battery? Wouldn't you only get about an hour of play anyways?

Not sure what is wrong with your computer but the High Performance profile still exists in Windows 10. Are you plugged in?

If all else fails, try using ThrottleStop. It works in Windows 10 and doesn't put any significant load on the CPU when idle.
