BIOS Frequency setting reverting

[Spork829]

Hello friends! So the battery in my laptop is rather poor, and because of this I set the CPU Dynamic frequency setting in the BIOS to always low, which causes the CPU to stay at 800 MHz all the time (normally it would be base 1.5 GHz up to 2.4). This works great because I'm not doing super intensive tasks when I use it most of the time anyways, so I don't care that much about the performance loss and it saves a lot of battery. However, I've noticed that whenver I put the PC to sleep, it seems to turn this mode off, going back up to its default clock speeds. When I check back into the BIOS, however, the always low setting is still active. I have to totally restart it to get the setting to work again. What's going on here?

Is your Bios updated to the latest version? Once in a while I see mobo updates that fixes issues with sleeping, check if yours has one and if so, do it.

It appears to still be up to date, just did an update a couple months ago.
