At a constant 0.21MHz there is more than just thermal throttling going on. There's likely a dead sensor or bad firmware on your laptop. The iGPU may be spiking because it's running at such a low frequency, because the frequency of the CPU itself has been absolutely tanked.

 

You can try ThrottleStop to disable the bad sensor, and you should also see if there's any updated graphics/firmware drivers for your CPU.

I didn't mean the BIOS. I meant the software that the laptop manufacturer supplies on their website. In the past I had an issue with my laptop running at a constant 0.81GHz and I had to reinstall some of the software from the manufacturers website to make it work. What brand is your laptop? Head over to the website and search for the specific model number, then find and download the graphics drivers and any software to do with the CPU. Install them and overwrite anything that is already on the machine.

 

You may also want to clean the machine out, as thermal throttling is still contributing to this issue, even if it isn't the full story.

Thx for the suggestion I would definitely try that
