    After W7 Clean Install Turbo Boost missing


    Hello,


    I recently bought a new laptop LENOVO Z500 that came with a Windows 8 64-bit OS. I clean installed Windows 7 Pro 32-bit coz our company program needs this partiular OS. Now i've successfully installed all drivers that had an exclaimation mark from the device driver window. But the problem is that I cant find the turbo boost option from the services.msc menu. does that mean that turbo boost won't kick in anymore? how can i fix this?

    I checked from the download site of lenovo where i got all the drivers but there wasnt any TURBO BOOST DRIVER download present.

    Please help out. I'm sensing from a couple of autocad work that I did theres some kind of lag going on. so it got me thinking that the TURBO BOOST aint working anymore.


    here's the unit specs:

    You don't need a driver for TurboBoost, that is part of the CPU. It functions without Windows or any other system.

    Check in BIOS Setup to see if Turbo Boost needs to be enabled. If not what appears different from the way this feature worked before, just the lag?

    Have you run all rounds of Important and Optional Windows Updates, after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware (Step 3)? This is how drivers are handled in Win7 for the most part.

    If it isn't provided, in addition to the chipset as suggested by Kathryn I'd also install from the Lenovo Support Downloads webpage the Intel Management Engine Interface for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Notebook. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
