NOT AGAIN! My Latitude is overheating and the CPU is maxing out:

Unfortunately however, I am not as savvy as most on this site and as a result, I do not recognize solutions as quickly.

OK-ive downloaded it.
What to do now?

 

Unzip the contents into a folder and then run ThrottleStop.exe.

See this thread for some notes on the configuration. (There may be other threads - Google will point you to them.)

After reading this whole thread it would be good to hear some feedback from akwit and the issue at hand.

 

I helped akwit get ThrottleStop running via email and sure enough, he had clock modulation issues like many other Latitude E6400 laptops have. He asked me to explain how he could add ThrottleStop to his start up sequence so I have to assume that ThrottleStop took care of this issue for him.

The ThrottleStopLog file he sent me was completely obvious. When the clock modulation column dropped below 100%, performance went downhill. Turning on ThrottleStop fixed this problem. If you have the same problem, send me a log file during normal use and I will show you where the problem lies. I seem to recall his multiplier first dropped down to 6.0 before the clock modulation internal slow down made his laptop unusable.

Maybe send akwit a PM and see how he made out with this problem just to confirm.

 

Was just wanting this long thread to come to a close. Found it a very odd read. I couldn't understand why it went on so long either. Good job with continuing your support on the forums. Your development is interesting.
