Is there a way to stop Node Center from controlling the CPU/GPU usage? My laptop is Vector Pro 2.
I currently have a battery problem which prevents the Vector Pro 2 from reflecting the true battery percent (I have tried reinstalling all the battery drivers). Because of this, I am assuming that the computer does not want to use the CPU properly / at high performance. It only runs games at ~15% CPU usage, which is…

My Vector Pro 2 laptop remains at 0% battery and also shuts down/restarts randomly
I am having trouble with my laptop. While plugged in, it stays at 0% and rarely it charges. If it does charge and the random restart occurs, the battery goes back to 0.
