Speedswitch
My comp will run at 1.6 gigs, which is its max, when im running games. But then it randomly goes back down to 600 mhz so i have to exit game. Then it goes right back up to 1.6, only to fail after about another half hour. I've tried speedswitch xp, turning speedswith off, messing with power settings (its on home/office). Help!

Ya it worked. My comp runs fine now, especially since I bought the cooling pad. I could melt chocolate with the laptop before, but now its almost chilly.

Sounds like it's overheating, try blowing out the fan/heatsink and air intakes with compressed air. Also set the power options to always on when playing games and portable/laptop the rest of the time.
Post back if this helps or not.
