laptop intel gpu doesn't clock above 200 MHZ

owning a dell latitude e7440, i was expecting to be able to do normal tasks without lagging.
I was wrong.
I installed a fresh copy of Windows 10, and updated all the drivers to the latest version (Even used a previous graphics driver, and an intellimodded driver without avail), but after a short while of chrome surfing, or light gaming, the frames drop significantly, and usually never go back up until a restart occurs (sometimes that doesn't work either).

What I realize from this is that the intel GPU was stuck at 200 MHZ after a short while, and will never go beyond that frequency.

thru my little research, I've found out that my CPU had a 15 watt power limit, and would throttle after a while of pushing the cpu past 15 watts.
however, whenever the cpu and gpu get clocked down, they don't manage to go back up, even when the temps run down to 60-70 and the cpu power wattage is at 9-12W.

How can I release this lock so that the GPU can perform consistently throughout my session?
Or at least, how can I have the GPU run higher than 200 MHz during anything slightly graphic/cpu intensive? (Non-Demanding Games like League of Legends, or FL Studio, Chrome)

specs:
core i7 4600U
12 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM
256 GB SSD

 

The BIOS has been updated to A25 when the issue occured.
I know the base frequency is 200 MHz, but shouldn't it clock up a bit when needed to keep the framerates high enough?

How is that supposed to help me?

 

The manufacturer does not recommend overclocking these graphs.
You do it at your own risk!
If you choose to do so, you can use the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) -> https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/66427/processors/processor- utilities-and-programs / intel extreme-tuning-utility-intel-xtu.html? _ga = 2.89933339.1466647026.1527761191-1849976179.1511097714
(read the instructions carefully and use the experience of other users (eg YouTube).
However, you must take into account that you can ruin your computer!

 

No, that won't do.
First, I'm using a ULV CPU -> no overclocking for me.
Second, I can only change the MAX Graphics Clock ratio, which doesn't help in my case because I'm always going to be stuck at the base speeds.

 

I guess, maybe I expected too much from this laptop. I didn't know it would underperform in terms of graphics compared to others with the exact same chip :/

 

Tried running it for an hour, but it doesnt seem to do mich

 

When I played around w/ it, it goes up to around 1.6 ghz
But right now I can't even boot it (diff issue), so there's no trying here.

 

Well, since the update, the CPU has been performing as expected.
I don't experience power limit throttling as much anymore (I let the CPU go up to 1.6-2.7 GHz). The GPU WILL clock up to 600-1100 MHz once in a while, but then it will go back down and stay at 200 MHz for a long while (feels like an indefinite amount of time).
Checking in XTU, the Package TDP does not reach the Max TDP (Running at 10-13 watts), and none of the throttlings seem to be turned on...
