GPU Usage % drops to 0-10 while gameplaying either Online or Offline game. Goes from 100-120-150fps (whatever the config I select) down to 5 or 0 (freezes) for a few seconds.

I will leave Pc DxDiag specs, for further information. (I tested GPU drops with FurMark in order to establish that the error is not hardware. The stress test ran perfectly and no drop was recognized (was ran for about 2 hours) )

/thread/106002 Joafru,

Try installing the .exe version; once you click on the link, choose "Download only".

Were you able to disable Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology?

Amy.

See "How do I use Enhanced Intel Speedstep® Technology?" in the following link http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005723.html Frequently Asked Questions about Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology... .

Updating the BIOS version might fix the issue, so it would be a good a idea getting in contact with HP in order to update it.

Hello Amy, I really appreciate your time for this matter. I haven't been able to disable the Enhanced Intel Speedstep® Technology or calling HP in order to update de Bios, it requires time, and I am at the moment preparing for exams, I really love how you are responding to me and all your time spent into it, thus I am extremely sorry I can't do anything else, I just need more time.

Whenever I can, I will call HP and try to disable Enhanced Intel Speedstep® Technology

Cordially,

Joaquín

I updated the Bios to F.16 rev A ( the newest I could update, HP did it for me through teamviewer ) , and I couldn't disable "Enhanced Intel Speedstep® Technology" Because It did not appear in the Bios whatsoever. And the problem persists, same as always, from time to time my fps drops from 120 to 5 aprox. for about 3 - 6 seconds.

Well, the problem has been parcially resolved, It does not drop to 5fps so often now, I changed some graphic gard settings, besides doing the power stuff.... I could say it is solved now, comparing the initial premise, still, I would wait a week for further tests... nevertheless , thanks for the amazing support amy
