Lenovo y520 refuses to use gtx 1060

[gnsofthepatriots]

Hi guys, im running out of ideas, recently i acquired a lenovo y520 and the problem is that the OS (windows 10 home) detects the gtx 1060 but refuses to use it beyond 10%...



the specs are these:

i5 7300hq

8gb ram ddr4 @2133mhz

Nvidia gtx 1060 max-q 3gb





Software:

Nvidia Drivers: 417.22

BIOS version: 5xcn10ww







how do i know this?:

i runned afterburner and the gpu maintains 40C and 600mhz running any game, and the performance is awful,

for example, i cant even get 30fps playing monster hunter on lowest settings.



what have i tried?:

i configured nvidia panel to use the gpu on global settings, also program settings individually.


thanks!

Can you monitor your CPU and GPU's temps while game or stress test and post your results.
Thanks.
