Undervolt settings, stuck, unable to reset or messed up BIOS

Is it possible to mess up BIOS settings, or have in perpetuity effects for any undervolt done through throttlestop?

I have been experiencing A LOT of watchdog violations as of late, and this came after I tweaked a few settings via throttlestop and had my BIOS unlocked for undervolt but had my settings done via throttlestop.

I'm not a big fan of "running a program to apply settings" and have always done undervolting via BIOS, but then got tired of tweaking and bought an Llano at numerous recommendations from people. Now, just when things are supposed to be hitting a sweet spot, I get these watchdog violations and crashes multiple times, when running a game, even when viewing a YouTube video.

I've tried EVERYTHING. and I swear the settings I've been using are pretty much what I've had on the BIOS back then. modest UV of -55mV for P and E Cores, have my P cores at all 48Ghz and E cores at 40, PL1 55000 and PL2 65000 at 56secs.

I don't know for the love of this machine, what's wrong. It's a MSI Vector 16 HX Core Ultra 7 and 5070ti. A few months back I've read, wrote, and studied numerous guides until I got the sweetspot but as of late, (before getting the LLano) I've been hitting 85-90 again, on moderate gaming.

Would appreciate your thoughts and help on this.

Thanks!

Oh, and I did reformat, clean install windows, update drivers, still the same. I've reset to factory image, update drivers, still the same effect.

So, yeah. I don't know what's causing this.

Undervolting lock on 13900hx

I have a 13900hx from acer and the option to undervolt is locked

My cpu heats a lot and I need to cool it down a bit .

Can anyone help me with it . Can I do it with changing the tpl 1 and tpl 2 ?

Can anyone tell me what could be the optimal values or if there is any other ways to lower my temps.

Do I have to turn on throttlestop everythime I start my computer?

Or once applied the changes they remain applied until further changes?
