Mark_Eze, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.


In order for us to provide the most accurate assistance on this matter, we just wanted to confirm a few details about your system:

Is this a new computer?

When did you purchase it?

Just to make sure, you mentioned this problem happens with any game, could you please provide the name of some of them? 

Taking into consideration the problem of the Intel® processor dropping the speed to 0.39-40 GHz, is the game lagging, freezing, flickering, or crashing?

Did you make any recent hardware/software changes that might cause this issue?

Which Windows* version are you using?

Does the problem happen at home or in the work environment?

Please attach the SSU report so we can verify further details about the components in your platform, check all the options in the report including the one that says "3rd party software logs":

Hello Mark_Eze, Thank you very much for providing that information.


In order to rule out a possible hardware issue with the Intel® processor, please install and run the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool. It does an overall test on the unit and if it passes the test it means it is working properly:

There are some settings in the BIOS, like Intel® speed step, that might create this type of behavior. Please make sure that you are running the computer at stock configurations with the default BIOS settings. You can always get in contact with MSI support to confirm that and also to make sure that the latest BIOS version is currently installed on your machine:

If the issue persists after that, we will do further research on this matter, for us to be able to do that, please attach the SSU report so we can verify further details about the components in your platform, check all the options in the report including the one that says "3rd party software logs":
