    So I wanted to try out MSI afterburner;

    Downloaded it, installed, increased my clocks slightly everything seemed great.

    Except now my GPU does not "Throttle" down in 2D mode....

    My GPU is at 0% usage, and it is staying at 775/625/1550 (stock since I reset MSI in the hopes it would fix it)

    I tried uninstalling MSI no luck
    I tried rebooting no luck

    I'm just stuck at 3d Mode (and my CPU isn't throttling either it would seem...) Everything is running full speed ahead all the time; and I can't figure out why.


    What gives? Please help!

    LOL

    My clocks are all messed up now - my CPU won't clock over 2.1ghz - my GPU clocks are stuck at full speed. Even if I run Prime 95 my CPU clock stays at x22 multi so 2195 mhz. It doesn't down-clock either, its just straight up stuck at that speed. GPU still stuck at 3d speeds.

    Please help.

    I think Afterburner just fubared me.

    Could it be an issue with your power settings? Maybe you set your minimum CPU usage to 100% and maximum to 100%?

    Have you used Throttlestop to change your CPU multipliers? Did you disable Intel Speedstep?

    For your GPU, did you flash any custom vbios to it? If not, you can just uninstall and reinstall the latest drivers to fix it.
