Hi
I have a lenovo G510 laptop and today I decided to upgrade my cpu from core i5-4200M to i7-4700MQ
I bought the new CPU and installed it.
also I upgraded my RAM from 8GB (two 4GBs) to 12GB (8GB+4GB).
I noticed in task manager that the speed of new CPU is much lower. to be exact is is 0.77GHz, but the maximum speed is 2.4 (3.4 max).
I even stressed it with the applications I use usually but the speed didn't increace at all.
I ran a few of my problems and nothing happened!!
with the old CPU I usually got to speed 2.4GHz in a few seconds after my applications started calculating.
what do you think is the problem?!
should I change windows and reinstall it?
I am currentlyon windows 8.1 with the latest updates.
