Hello!
I've recently noticed that my Dell Inspiron 15z's turbo boost on the processor has stopped working. The processor frequency is stuck at below 2Ghz. (According to Task Manager). It used to reach up to 2.8Ghz (when both cores are being utilized) or 3.1Ghz. This is causing a noticeable decrease in the performance of my computer. I tried downloading the Intel Turbo Boost Monitor but it claims that my computer is not capable of Turbo Boost despite it having an i7 processor. There also isn't an option of turning on or off turbo boost in BIOS.
