automatic, then start the service. Apply and close.

Open the display adapters heading. Right-click on your graphics

the power & sleep options. Click additional power settings from the side.
Select high performance or ultimate performance if you have the options. The option may
be hidden in the additional plans options. Click "Change plan settings" from the side.
Change advanced power settings. Open the processor power management
options, then go to minimum processor state. If the minimum processor state is set to
100 then lower it to between 10 and 30. Set maximum processor state to 100.
