New BIOS update needed for E5-772
Hi,
I am having this warning show up in my Event Viewer every time I boot/reboot my laptop: The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. I know I need to flash the BIOS but the most recent version is 1.14 from as year ago. I've already updated to that version last year sometime. Is there an unlisted update somewhere or does Acer seem to no longer be interested in providing updates not only for the BIOS but all the other drivers as well for my model as well? I know that updates can't be provided forever, but something important such as the BIOS should be kept updated.
Anyway, please let me know what I need to do next.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi,
Go to Power Options, switch to High performance and in Advanced settings Minimum and Maximum processor state to 100%.

Brummy that is not going to solve the problem.
Can you send me a picture/screenshot of the actual problem in the event viewer?

Hi dak2014,
I thought that the CPU throttling may have caused it.

Refresh my memory-how do I send you a screenshot? I haven't done it for a long time.
I just figured it out! I hope it's big enough.

Thanks for the help but, nothing in that post applies to my situation. I really think I need a BIOS update-something that is evidentally hard to find.0
