Your processor's power limits (PL1/PL2) appear to be set to an unlimited value. This means the CPU is allowed to draw as much power as it wants, with no enforced safeguard beyond what the cooling and voltage regulation can sustain. While this can unlock maximum performance, the processor may run hotter, consume more energy, and experience increased electrical stress over time.

This configuration is often applied automatically by motherboard manufacturers through performance-enhancing profiles. Even without any user changes, many boards ship with these limits effectively disabled by default.

We recommend reviewing your power limit settings in the BIOS or in the software provided by your motherboard. Restoring sensible PL1/PL2 values (typically aligned with the processor's rated TDP) can help lower temperatures, reduce power consumption, and extend the long-term reliability of your CPU.

3 device(s) have no driver installed, so Windows cannot use them at all. This is very common on a fresh Windows installation, where the chipset drivers have not been installed yet.

Windows ships generic drivers for common hardware but not for chipset controllers, card readers, or manufacturer-specific devices, which have to be installed separately.

Install the chipset driver package for your motherboard or laptop from the manufacturer's support page, then run Windows Update. The Drivers button in the Software section lists every device still waiting for a driver.

Your processor is currently operating with fewer threads than its official specifications. It is running with 2 threads, while this CPU normally supports 4 threads.

This limitation reduces performance and may indicate a configuration issue.

This situation can happen when Windows is set to limit the number of active cores, when BIOS settings are not at their defaults, or when a recent change has disabled certain CPU features. In rare cases, a BIOS update may be required for the system to properly detect the full capabilities of the processor.

We recommend checking Windows’ advanced boot options (msconfig) to ensure all cores are enabled. You should also load the default settings in your BIOS to restore proper CPU configuration.

Your RAM is currently operating at a lower frequency than it was designed for. It is running at 2119.2 MT/s, while its rated speed is 3602 MT/s.

This doesn’t cause issues, but you may miss out on some performance.

Enabling the proper memory profile (XMP/EXPO/DOCP) in the BIOS usually restores the RAM to its intended speed. It’s optional, but adjusting this setting can help your system run a bit faster.

No graphics driver is installed for your graphics card. Windows is currently running on its generic display driver.

Without the manufacturer's driver, 3D acceleration is unavailable: games and GPU-accelerated applications cannot start, video playback is degraded, and the display may be limited to a low resolution.

Download and install the latest driver from your GPU manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel) to restore normal operation and full performance.
