under power options do you have it set to always on? If not, set it to always on-Home Office/Desk. That will force it into a max performance state.

Under device manager is everything installed properly?

yes and yes as you can see in my original post performance is set to ' always high' ... where ' always on ' comes from is a mystery to me

always on & Home Office/Desk are locared under display properties, screeensaver, power, power scheme. This also manages the performance state of your system, which includes speedstep.
