Hi nfb1204,

Welcome to the community.

Please go to the device manager and uninstall the current turbo boost driver entirely.

You can download the turbo boost monitor instead to see that your PC is in fact using turbo boost without this driver.

You can download this application from this link:

www.intel.com/.../CS-031038.htm

Let me know of the findings, glad to be of assistance.

I checked out the link at Intel, but when you go to download Intell has a message saying :***** PLEASE NOTE: THIS TOOL IS OFF LINE - PLEASE CHECK BACK NEXT WEEK *****

Any other suggestions? As a side note, the laptop fans are on a lot more than usual. would this have anything to do with that also and could that be the cause of the processor errors?

Hi nfb1204,

Thank you for your response.

Please try to download the Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor from this link.
