Predator 17 G9-791 CPU frequency and Fan issues

You're experiencing Thermal Throttling. The most common cause is when you're laptop overheats. Did your laptop suddenly turned off while you were using it then when you turned it back on this issue occured?

However, whatever the cause is, use this as a temporary solution:

1. Download ThermalStop.

2. Turn BD PROCHOT off.

After doing these two steps, your laptop's clockspeed should go back to normal but it won't solve your fan running at maximum speed. 

I experienced this problem before (although my laptop didn't overheat), and I sent it to a technician. I wasn't billed because they told me it was a driver problem and they solved it simply by updating the Thermal Control drivers. 

(I cannot believe Acer support wasn't able to remedy the problem you had, when I brought my Predator laptop to Acer they solved this problem is less than two hours.)

Hey there,

I just want to say thank you for recommending ThrottleStop and turning the setting BD PROCHOT off.

I am actually using a different model than OP, a Predator Helios 300 (G3-571), and this is my fourth day owning it. My first three days were fantastic and I had no issues with FPS or lag in-game. Last night, all of a sudden my performance took a huge dip and I've spen about 6 hours now trying to find out why.

I'm not sure what caused the throttling to persist between power downs, but this has fixed my issue. My temp never hit 98 in the first place (that I noticed, anyway) so I am not sure why it hard throttled my CPU.

I cannot thank you enough. I was beginning to look at returning this machine and that is something I certainly want to avoid if possible.

Have a kudos!
