Hi everyone,
So, I've been using my Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga for almost 2.5 years, mostly for light use but recently once I started using it for my semester works (ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and a tad bit of music production), I am noticing one of its biggest flaws.
The laptop seems to work fine when it's not connected to the charger, not throttling at all and sustaining boost frequencies, not the maximum (3.4GHz), but almost around 2.8 to 3. But once I start charging the laptop and using it, it throttles down abysmally. I tend to keep my laptop connected to the power outlet most of the time, and whenever I do heavy tasks (e.g. using Kontakt as VST on DAW, performing GIS operations etc.), it just throttles, so much so that often it reaches 400MHz, triggering BD Prochot. I tried running the laptop without it but it just shuts down without any warning. This is being a serious issue, even led me to almost fail my semester when it went 400MHz during a GIS operation during my semester finals.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tinkered a bit with ThrottleStop and am attaching the screenshots and a log of my cinebench run. I am using ThrottleStop 9.5. Thanks in advance!
