Hello guys I recently did a clean after seeing weird ratios on throttlestop. I was messing around with IRQ affinity which majorly slowed down the system and after a new windows installation I noticed the throttlestop shows these values.
Did I fry my CPU? I mean it kind of slows down whenever I try to install something. Can you give me any ideas?

EDIT : Its okay its all good. Me, the dumb guy, forgot to do the most basic thing, turning core isolation off -_-

Make sure to delete the ThrottleStop.INI configuration file after disabling core isolation memory integrity. This file can sometimes get corrupted when VBS or core isolation are enabled.

Thank you, a quick question. It has always been like this with this laptop. While TS is on and I get an electricity cut (switch to battery), the laptop freeze and I have to shut it down & restart manually. Is there any way to prevent this?

Does your whole laptop freeze or does just ThrottleStop freeze?

Post some more details. Show me an updated screenshot of the FIVR and TPL windows. Undervolting a computer too much can cause a computer to freeze when switching to battery power. U series CPUs are already low voltage processors. They do not have a lot of undervolting headroom available. Between -50 mV and -70 mV for the core and cache offsets might be the practical and stable limit. A stable undervolt will not crash whether you are plugged in or whether you switch to AC power.

Whole laptop freeze after about 3-5 seconds switching to battery

Whole laptop freeze
Go back to square one. Set the core and cache offset voltages to 0 mV. Press Apply and check the monitoring table to make sure the offset voltages have been reset. Unplug your laptop and see if it crashes. At default voltage it should be OK. This test will prove that the reason your laptop is freezing is because the offset voltages you are trying to use are not 100% stable. They might be game stable but they are not 100% stable.

Set the core and cache to -50 mV and see if your computer can pass the switch to battery test without freezing. Some 10750H are stable at -70 mV but not all are stable at this level. ThrottleStop is not making your computer freeze. It is usually your voltage settings that will cause freezing.

Do some ThrottleStop TS Bench 960M testing. You should not see any errors during any TS Bench test or any other stability test.

Thank you, will try it ASAP. I was also wondering if DC Exit time would work for me so when laptop is on battery TS exits completely.

That ThrottleStop feature should still work correctly. Try it and find out.

I believe that Battery Monitoring needs to be checked in the Options window so this feature will work.
