It's a 2012 model ASUS K45VM with the GPU 630M. Here's the problems:
>idle GPU clock is stuck at 660mhz
>playing games downclocks it to 270mhz and gets stuck there
>GPU-Z says it's "limited by GPU utilization" when I'm trying to play and it's stuck at 270mhz (what this means?)
>not a heat issue
Things I've tried/tested:
>playing without the battery, laptop turns off when GPU starts functioning
>Integrated graphics functions normally while playing even without the battery
>clean install on drivers, tried other versions, none helped
>changed performance settings, none helped
I thought it was insufficient power supply, but the integrated graphics can run fine with a steady voltage.
Also, since this started happening, Windows been asking to activate (I already did that one year ago) and I can't open my anti virus for some reason. What are the chances of this being a malware problem?
