I made the mistake of installing the latest Intel graphics driver directly from their website instead of waiting for it to be pushed through Windows Update. Why a mistake? Well, while I used to play Counter Strike: Global Offensive with reasonable FPS (as high as 60 in most scenarios, pretty much always over 30; very low details, down-scaled resolution obviously), after the driver update all I get is <30 FPS.
I ran HW Monitor and discovered the graphics never clock over 600 MHz, whereas before it would go all the way to 1,100 MHz. I tried reverting the drivers - no change, but I started getting a black screen for about a second whenever dis/reconnecting the power cord. Then I ran System restore - it solved the black screens and got the FPS high again, but only for a while and when I turned the PC on later today the problem is back - terrible FPS, max clock at 600 MHz.
Any idea how to get the graphics to clock all the way to the max clock when under load again? Many thanks!!
PS: there is no overheating, it doesn't clock high even when the temperature is just 50 C (before it worked ok even when over 70-80 C).
