Trying to use throttlestop for gaming but it says cpu not supported. I have AN AMD Radeon R2 1.80GHz please help me
 
turn off any cpu down clocking / power saving in your BIOS and make sure you put your power plan in Windows on high performance and also make sure the min/max CPU speed is set to 100%
 
Whats the make and model of the laptop/desktop you are running?
 
HP Notebook Model.. RTL8188EE

Being a HP your bios maybe very minimalistic, do you have the owners manual?

By the way that looks like a code for a Realtek Device
 
By the way that looks like a code for a realtek device, look at the bottom of the laptop and get the model number from there
 
I'm not sure if the OP is trolling, or really has some unrealistic expectations from his hardware....

1) It's a friggin low-power AMD E2-7110 APU, in 99.9% of cases it does not throttle due to overheating or TDP restrictions, it is simply slow
2) Throttlestop will not solve any of your gaming issues, because your laptop is an oversized netbook: meant for internet surfing and office work.
3) Your laptop model is most likely 14-an090nr

The only type of "gaming" you can do on this laptop is solitaire and minesweeper (and even then the Windows 10 version of these games will lag like hell).
 
I'm going to take an educated guess that because of the hardware in there, your notebook is using W10.

Keep in mind, probably most of what you will be limited is the power plan settings in Windows. Also keep in mind because it is a notebook, it probably is set to balanced or low power to save battery life. So if you change to a high power plan for what you need it for, make sure it is plugged in, and don't forget to change it back when you go on battery.

You also may not see much increase in gaming performance based on the model. But that's ok, see what you CAN get out of it within it's defined limits.

That said, I am providing a very good link from TenForums that takes you step by step.

It's a 1.8ghz chip. You can't run 99% of games anyway on it even if you gave it a dedicated, decent GPU. Most likely it's locked so all you can do is max the power limit in Windows settings and watch people play the games you want to play in choppy videos.
 
Geezus IF I had of known it was aN HP craptop I would have just said your SOL (shit outta luck)
1: Forget the BIOS settings you'll find nothing of use to you in an HP BIOS
2: Set the power plan to high performance
3: load solitaire and enjoy

I wish I could say all HP laptops are jankyjunk but mine does reach an 100% overclock. :roll:

That's about as wrong as it gets. Brand is not the problem - the platform is.
In that price range pretty much all laptops are "craptops" as you call them. And nowadays HP is not the worst when it comes to overall quality. I'm already getting a steady stream of 2015-2017 low-budget models from Acer, Lenovo and ASUS with non-user-related hardware problems. Anything from suddenly non-working internal batteries to dead RTC batteries (low-quality rechargeable LiPo), from USB issues to dead VRMs etc. The overall quality in that segment has declined drastically. And that's why they only come with 12mo warranty in most cases.
