    I´ve formated my old DV6 (model 2190us) and got an weird problem.

    I´ve noted that the notebook was too quiet after formating...
    Downloaded CPU-Z and saw that the multiplier was stuck at 7x (power saving). No matter what I did, it was stuck at 7x (Performance mode, AC on, BIOS update, etc...).

    Then I downloaded the Intel Turbo Boost "Widget" and confirmed that my notebook was stuck at power saving mode, giving me just 933MHz on all cores...

    I downloaded ThrottleStop and my problems were gone! Just clicked "run", and even if if turn Throttle Stop off, the multiplier stayed unlocked, speedsteping between 7x and 13x under normal usage.

    The problem is: every time that I reboot or sleep, the clock stucks again to 7x. Running ThrottleStop solves, but really sucks have to run the program all times that I open the computer...

    Anyone has ever faced this problem?
