In this video I walk you through how to fix it.

Power - Battery Configuration Change: Adaptive - Primarily AC Use (only if you use your laptop primarily plugged in most of the time, which I think is the best way to preserve your battery, but NOT IF ITS BEING DRAINED LIKE ON ADAPTIVE MODE) 2. Performance - Intel Turbo Boost Technology and/or Intel Turbo Boost Maximum Technology 3.0 Change: On - Off (I believe this is the primary one that was overheating my PC)
