Many thanks for your advices, I did it all but seem my laptop have no problem with my SSD and 8g Ram ( dont need Virtual Memory). I have replaced thermal paste last month. Agree that class laptop bussiness not meant for gaming but these games are low spec game. I very dissapointed. I have cpu i7 4610m and VGA AMD 2gb still cant play a very old game (GTA San Andreas) and a popular game (LOL) , the clock speed is very low while I'm playing for a while. Well, maybe I will quit gaming. So sad. Btw thank for your reply.
I found how to go full speed again. I go Start menu -> power -> sleep. Wait till computer sleeps. Than power up from sleep pressing power button. Thats it.
same problem here.Maybe the bios problem ?.Play some normal game like lol is kindda fine but with some heavier game , cpu started to throttle to 0.8 ghz and stayed there for good .When i checked the Throttestop, i said that GPU POWER as the limit reason.Temp are quite fine ,no thermal stuff.Plz i have been suffering for days now.
maybe this could help you.Download throttlestop latest ver.Do some undervolting on CPU core and cache and the intel gpu if u want.Then go to the FIVR , then change the non turbo boost ratio from 0 to 1.Also if u want some better temp , u could tick the Overclock box on turbo boost ration and set anything to 34 ( 3.4 ghz max) or whatever value u want .This should keep u in the base clock if u throttle .Is not a complete solution but aleast base clock is better than 0.8 ghz :v
I have same problem my laptop is latitude e6540 i7 4810mq with ati8790m ..I used to play gta v on low and it's like 50-60 fps but recently the fps keeps dropping from 60 to 40 then 30 then 14 and some time it crashes so i checked the cpu clock to found that when i start the game it's fine but after few minutes it keeps dropping tell it get to 0.8v so I assumed it a thermal throttling so i checked the temp but found it's around 80 which isn't bad or it's not the point that cause throttling but I changed the thermal paste to make sure and cleaned the fan but no change..keep in mind that I used my laptop to play many games like tomp raider and far cry 3 and gta v for like 2years and my experience was so good at low settings so what have changed recently...is it the lifespan of the cpu???
if the VRM overheating , The throttlestop would show VR thermal ( then it will be vrm overheaitng). I also check the hwinfo for vrm overheating and there isn't .And if the vrm are overheating , a sleep cycle would do nothing to it ( in this case the sleep cycle fix the throttliong ).Gt202 makes the cpu and gpu cooler , not the vrm ( although i have done mod to this laptop to achive less cpu temp ,around 80 max both cpu and gpu , that shouldn't be thermal throttling ).After sleep cycle , the laptop will run full speed until it reached VR thermal ( which make sense to me ).I even play witjout turbo boost , the problem still occurs.
there's no way to check if VRM throttling because it's a hardware. The VRM of e6540 is not cover by anything, so the hot air at the bottom of the laptop causes overheat VRM. The bios of e6540 too shy to continue, so throttling happened, and no way to turn back clockspeed GT202 can't cool the cpu and cpu, but make the air not too hot, same with L100. I used gt202 and no throttling again. Keep the air at bottom cool is the key. Sleep circle just a reset bios command. Imagine you are bios. Bios: It's to hot. Hey, CPU, throttle now * reset * Bios: What ? where am I ? hey CPU, keep going.
Well, i have that same laptop and i have been playing on it some heavier games and it worked fine but at some point i changed my hdd and installed a new windows 10, and games worked perfectly until i updated win 10, so i think its either a problem with the hdd or windows updates , i didnt have these fps drops when i was on windows 7 tho

Welcome to the Dell Community @s4dMuggle
The E6540 is a business class laptop and not meant for gaming???
First thing is to do a “Disk Cleanup”
Check everything except “Delivery Optimization Files”
Click on “OK” then “Delete Files”
Next do a “Disk Defragmentation and Optimize”
Click on “Optimize”
If an SSD is installed you do not need to run “Defrag”
Next go to “Advanced System Settings”
In the “Performance” box click on “Settings”
Click on “Adjust for Best Performance”
Then click on “Apply”
Next click on the “Advanced” tab.
Make sure “Programs” is selected in the “Processor Scheduling” box.
In the “Virtual Memory” box click on “Change”
Click on “Custom Size”
Set “Initial Size (MB)” larger than the “Recommended:” size.
Then set the “Maximum Size (MB)” larger than the “Initial Size (MB)”
Click on “SET” and then “OK”
REBOOT:
Because of the age you may want to replace the CPU/GPU thermal paste???
Best regards,
U2

I used to have same problem with my Dell Latitude e6540
First you need to make sure that all off you driver is updated. You can go to Support | Dell US
Then download the Dell Power Manger from Microsoft Store then choose Thermal Management -> Cool
this will lower cpu clock speed from 2.9ghz to 2.4 ghz this will help keep your cpu temp
under 80 C Degree and your cpu will stay at 2.4 ghz when you play game
This solved my problem hope this help

sleep cycle is the only option for this SERIOUS Problem

This model have many problems.
To avoid this throttling, make sure the VRM is not too hot ( use cooling pad or gt202)

and one more thing if gpu power pop up in Throttlestop .Shouldn't it be throttling only the intel gpu not the cpu itself?

Sleep circle just a reset bios command. Imagine you are bios.
Bios: It's to hot. Hey, CPU, throttle now
* reset *
Bios: What ? where am I ? hey CPU, keep going.

Well, i have that same laptop and i have been playing on it some heavier games and it worked fine but at some point i changed my hdd and installed a new windows 10, and games worked perfectly until i updated win 10, so i think its either a problem with the hdd or windows updates , i didnt have these fps drops when i was on windows 7 tho
