Switch your power profile from "Max battery" to "Laptop" perhaps?
Control Panel -> Power Option
yup, the Laptop settings in Windows are trying to save you electricity.
Go into Control Panel and find the Power Options.
If you go into the advanced options in power saving you can choose the range of speeds you want the OS to throttle between so you can pick the best power/performance ratio for your needs.
Can you turn this function of entirely in the Bios or is there no setting?
