Need HELP ASAP

[Riderz]

Ok so i have an Intel Core I7-7700k so i was playing GTA5 and notices it seems a bit laggy so i went on my task manager to see if there was anything open that i can close to speed it up.. then i noticed i was only running at 0.80ghz when my CPU normally sits at 4.20ghz so i tried reseting my bios and it didnt work iv tried turboing my CPU that too didnt work i tried to see if there was any updates with my drivers in my bios or anything.. everything was up to date iv seen if my fan headers where installed correctly iv tried almost everything but cant seem to find the reason why it goes from 4.20ghz to 0.80ghz within 1min of starting my pc and no its not the game or anything iv tested that too. Someone PLEASE HELP

Have you checked thermals? (preferably using HWiNFO64)

Download HWiNFO64, tick the "Sensors only" option when you open up the program, then look up the CPU temperatures.

Check while you're in-game - both temperatures and the clock speeds.

I'm going to assume the 101C reading is a false reading, though check (also in HWiNFO) that PROCHOT and "Thermal Throttling" appear as "No".

 

Have you made any notable changes hardware or software wise right before this started happening?

Try setting your power plan in Windows to High Performance.

Try going into the BIOS and disabling SpeedStep (or it might be called EIST on some BIOSes).
