hey guys, i just got a new laptop, and whenever i have it plugged in the cpu runs at 100% even when idle. when it is on battery power the cpu runs like normal. i am getting this from the reliability and PERF. monitor on windows vista. also when it is plugged in the CPU max frequency is stuck at 50%. i have tried to change all the frequency settings on my power management but it will not go above 50% while plugged in. i already updated all of my drivers and my bios. does any know what this problem is and how to fix it.
