Hi, I have a Asus n61j laptop with a Intel Core i7 720QM, running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. For some reason my Core i7 Turbo Boost wasn't working, so I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it. After the reinstall, the turbo boost was working fine, but after like 3 hours of reinstalling some programs back on, the turbo boost monitor gadget from Intel wouldn't work properly anymore when I restarted the laptop. I don't know if my turbo boost is turned off or if it's still working or not, since the turbo boost monitoring gadget won't work. I reinstalled Windows in the first place because programs and games were sluggish due to the turbo boost not working (the Intel TB monitoring gadget wasn't working before I restored the laptop). I tried searching online to see how the hell did my turbo boost got disabled, and I didn't mess with my BIOS, so I don't know why the Intel turbo boost monitoring gadget stops working after I restart the laptop. It was working fine in the beginning and I restarted it a couple of times before and nothing happened. I'm wondering if I disabled some startup programs (i'm using ccleaner / tuneup 2011 to do that) that turbo boost might not work properly if you disable them, if that's the case? Or is the Intel monitoring gadget malfunctioning because I'm really not sure if my turbo boost is enabled or disabled right now, is there another way to check besides seeing if programs runs fast and smooth? Thanks
Thanks alot, i did what u said to do,: "Type MSCONFIG in your search bar. Click the services tab. Click 'Hide all Microsoft services'. Intel Turbo Boost should be at the bottom. It should be clicked and it should say 'Running'" -
turns out, intel turbo boost is disabled...but why cant i re-enable it? i cant click the "enable all" button and it doesnt show me what date it was disabled. how can i fix this? do you suspect it might be because i disabled a startup program i shouldnt have? thanks again!
