Hello everyone! I'm a (not quite) happy owner of a Dell 15r 5537(i7-4500u + AMD HD8850m) system. The OEM charger that comes w/ the notebook died recently and I got a new, non-OEM, one. So the first problem was that, because the bios couldn't identify the charger, the whole system was being throttled(CPU was running at 800MHZ). After some research I solved that using a program named throttleStop and disabling the "BD PROCHOT" feature. The problem now is that the GPU is still running at 400/300mhz(core/mem) and not the 625/1000 it should. I've searched a lot and found no solution. Can anyone help me?
It's a windows 10 system
I've tried my brother's OEM charger and GPU works fine with it(Without throttleStop)

edit1: Getting a official charger is not possible right now. They are more then double the price i paid(which was not cheap) for these ones. I don't have the money

You've got a bad charger.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Is there any way to test it, aside getting another one?

Charging the battery to full then using that should resolve this

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

My battery died a long time ago, so I can't do that either
