My CPU frequencies got messed up somehow and I can't figure out why

So my cpu freq is stuck at just under 400 MHz and I can’t seem to figure why. I searched around and read the arch wiki regarding cpu freq, made sure TLP was working alright, governor and all, but nothing. I can’t seem to find the exact reason this is happening, might have to do a clean install. One thing that did catch my attention is that fiddling with cpupower doesn’t seem to change anything for some reason.

Any chance you clever guys know a way I could troubleshoot the issue? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m dumping every relevant command result I can think of in [this pastebin], if there is anything in particular you think might help get to the issue please let me know.

EDIT: won’t let me post the link to the bin for some reason, I’m pasting the dump as a comment to avoid causing unnecessary headaches.

EDIT2: not sure what it means but if I run systemctl status I get “State: degraded” at the top of the result.

EDIT3: thought this might help:

EDIT: formatting is nice

can you reports

inxi -Fxza --no-host
cpupower frequency-info 

have you try others kernels ?
( 5.7 or 5.8 series )

Yes, I’ve tried both but no difference

inxi -Fxza --no-host

Sounds a bit like this:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=248477

Check if there is a BIOS update available for your NB.

Not really… Wouldn’t that be solved by changing kernel anyways?

Don’t know. Didn’t read it all. Still worth a try with a firmware update.

may be stay on 5.7 series

Tried already, doesn’t change a thing

Is it a fresh installation or did you get this problem recently after an update?

I got it recently after fidlling around with who knows what. I found out after a reboot after 3 days without one… wasn’t after an update or anything. Oh and when booting from a live install I get the same problem. BIOS says CPUs are fine.

You “fiddled around” in the bios as well? Try bios defaults. Still I’d recommend to upgrade firmware.

Definately not and already tried resetting the BIOS, will try to upgrade it as soon as I get to a windows machine. HP just loves linux users that much.

Just an fyi, “a” applies “xxx”. And “z” applies “--no-host”.

So inxi -Fza is fine.
