What causes “The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware” in the event log?












11














My Windows 10 event log continually states. In fact, I think my system is slowing down due to this fact.




The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system
firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for
61 seconds since the last report.




The details are:



Source: Kernel-Processor-Power (Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Processor-Power)
Event ID: 37
Level: Warning
User: System
Task Category: 7


The system is a VAIO SVS13K9EB notebook with a fresh Windows 10 install and all drivers up to date.



Any idea what causes this and how to solve it?

Kernel-Processor-Power Event ID 37 is not an error, it is a warning. It informs you that your system runs on low battery and therefore has reduced the speed.

    It's a Windows bug caused by Intel DPTF or Intel CPPC in new machines. It's caused by throttling of the CPU by the Intel software.



    You can try putting the power-plan to performance and also try setting min and max processor states to 100%.

      I just had a customer with this problem with an HP-15 machine with Windows 10 installed. The processor speed was actually throttled back to 25% of rated capacity. No SpeedStep available in the BIOS.



      After several hours of fiddling around, I deleted "Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework" from "System Devices" and that fixed the problem. (Note, you cannot delete it from the main "Device Manager" menu...at least I couldn't, but deleting it from the System submenu worked).

      • Please do not post the same answer to multiple questions. If the same information really answers both questions, then one question (usually the newer one) should be closed as a duplicate of the other. You can indicate this by voting to close it as a duplicate or, if you don't have enough reputation for that, raise a flag to indicate that it's a duplicate.

      Just adding this here, because I had this problem, and after trying all possible solutions, including BIOS settings and setting the min and max processor states to 100%, it turned out I had something really silly.



      My Samsung Laptop (NP900X4C), an old Series 9 laptop with Intel i5, but still going strong, suddenly started to throttle itself to 47% at 0.80Ghz. I was also getting the strange behaviour that upon boot up it first goes to 100% until all the services are started and then it throttles itself with that "The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware." event.



      After trying all solutions I found online and nothing works, it turned out that my laptop has this 'silent mode' which I could enable by Fn + F11, which slows down the fan speed but also throttles the CPU. I had never used this mode, and I must have hit it by mistake. Silly problem, but if you don't know about it will make you go round in circles.

                        Just adding this here, because I had this problem, and after trying all possible solutions, including BIOS settings and setting the min and max processor states to 100%, it turned out I had something really silly.



                        My Samsung Laptop (NP900X4C), an old Series 9 laptop with Intel i5, but still going strong, suddenly started to throttle itself to 47% at 0.80Ghz. I was also getting the strange behaviour that upon boot up it first goes to 100% until all the services are started and then it throttles itself with that "The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware." event.



                        After trying all solutions I found online and nothing works, it turned out that my laptop has this 'silent mode' which I could enable by Fn + F11, which slows down the fan speed but also throttles the CPU. I had never used this mode, and I must have hit it by mistake. Silly problem, but if you don't know about it will make you go round in circles.

                            Just adding this here, because I had this problem, and after trying all possible solutions, including BIOS settings and setting the min and max processor states to 100%, it turned out I had something really silly.



                            My Samsung Laptop (NP900X4C), an old Series 9 laptop with Intel i5, but still going strong, suddenly started to throttle itself to 47% at 0.80Ghz. I was also getting the strange behaviour that upon boot up it first goes to 100% until all the services are started and then it throttles itself with that "The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware." event.



                            After trying all solutions I found online and nothing works, it turned out that my laptop has this 'silent mode' which I could enable by Fn + F11, which slows down the fan speed but also throttles the CPU. I had never used this mode, and I must have hit it by mistake. Silly problem, but if you don't know about it will make you go round in circles.
