Thank you for all the suggestions. Sadly, I am still stuck with the same problem. Now maybe 1 in 10 restarts will I be able to get my normal clock speed. My gaming performance is in the toilet. I can't run anything at any decent settings at this point and hold even 45 FPS. Any more ideas? I've done all testing I can but at this point, I have NO idea what it could be. I just did a full driver wipe with safe mood sweeping and registery deleting. The whole nine yards. Upon first boot I had 745! Then nothing. I have stopped every single start up item and only booted up steam and CS:GO. Still not working. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, tests, anything. I'm about to throw this PC out the window. ><

You can't enable KBoost on mobile chips from this generation. I'm going to break this laptop. You have no idea

Full uninstall. Reformatted HDD then installed from a USB key with a purchased copy of W 8.1 from microsoft website (love discounts for being a student! )

Sorry to necrobump and old thread but I'm still dealing with this I take my laptop to work and use it for class so leaving the battery out is not an option (and I tested it and it didn't always work) I've come to the conclusion is has to be Optimus related. I don't see what else it could be. Also something I've realized, my core clock stays at 405mhz when it does this what we will call "glitch" even when its plugged in and I have rebooted multiple times, try locking clocks with Nvidia inspector, and a variety of other tests I have done (and no people it ISN'T TEMP RELATED sorry for caps but trust me I've run enough stress tests at both the "glitched" 405 and the proper 745 or so and temps are only a few degrees off and none breaking 67-69 degrees) when I unplug the charger and monitor the GPU Memory clock goes from 2015 (the normal number) down to 405Mhz however the core clock (in or out of game) never moves from 405Mhz... I'm ripping my hair out. I've been trying to fix this for OVER a year and I just want to be able to play games when I'm at work or waiting on people or wanting to game at all away from my desktop. Just counter strike and skyrim or diablo nothing demanding but demanding enough that I would really like the 650m to WORK PROPERLY. I have even moved to windows 8.1 from windows 7. Still no dice. Someone please throw some incite, maybe someone better versed in Nvidia Opt. than me? I have even called Alienware support and spent money hoping for some help.. they had nothing. And we've determined it isn't a hardware flaw because sometiems it will work just fine. I've even underclocked and monitored temps. I've ran benchmarks to see if I can just get the number to flip to 3d clocks and it will stay at 2d clocks even when nothing else is running. Why must this be so frustrating! I am begging you wonderful people of the LTT forum, Help me!

I would use it to do my next build and donate my current rig to my parents who are going through a rough time and can't afford to purchase a new computer right now.

I have i7 3770k and 2 GTX 670s FTW in SLI and mainly play CS:GO and other easy to run FPS games... and browse the internet/forums/youtube.... I need to find more games to play

I already have an H100i, a HX750 Gold powersupply, a KB/M, and a monitor for her build. I just need the rest of the items.

What I have so far? I have everything else (I have her a KB/M and a display) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FV2923 Anyone can build on that? Maybe newer hardware?

I'm so sorry guys Budget between 800-900 MAX

Hello everyone, I'm loving this forum and I figured why not ask here for some help. I've got a good friend of mine, I am wanting to help her do her first build for some light gaming but I wanted a budget build. I saved forever to build my current rig and I went all out at the time (670SLI, h110, Corsair 750D, 3770k) all when this stuff was new so I'm not really good at "budget builds" because I never really looked at one. I was hoping to do something that would last for a little while but doesn't have to max every gaming. 1080P gaming and dedicated graphics preferred. Budget 800 Max Main games she would be playing : Sims 3/4, CoD, Titanfall, Garry's Mod, and a few other RPG/MMOs Any help on where to start? I was thinking a 750Ti or 760 for a GFX card but I'm not sure where to go motherboard/CPU wise. I've always been an intel guy so if I can stay in that camp, I'd really like it. It doesn't need to be an unlocked rig but something that will last. Any suggestions? I also already have a powersupply and CPU cooler for the build from left over parts from a previous build H100i and HX750 so just make sure the parts you guys throw out are compatible!

I really like the entire look of the notebook. The red trim especially.

Bump? Another day at work. Another day of troubleshooting ><

Yes. Doesn't max over 65/67 degrees. Temps are not the issue because they would at least ramp the clocks when the game boots. When I boot any game from basic low end to AAA titles, my clocks never go above the 405Mhz. So I feel like overheating can't be the issue? Because if it was, the fan would ramp up and it would show some signs of trying to hit those clocks before ramping down, problem is it never moves in the first place.

Bump?
