CPU sometimes hangs at 50% maximum on Windows 8
- by Martin.
Recently I installed Windows 8 on my HP ProBook 6450b and it appears I've got problems when using more than one program at once. Sometimes, when I run multiple programs at once, CPU hangs at 49% and never goes up. I suspect it has something to do with CPU throttling, because sometimes it just goes over 49%. I've got my notebook connected to charger and my plan is set to "Active cooling".
The weird thing is that this happens only occasionally. I found nothing in my BIOS that could change this kind of things.
