The power settings aren't affecting anything that I can tell... Although I do have a suspicion that a faulty battery may be at play. I haven't changed out the battery since purchasing the laptop in Fall of '09 and it doesn't retain a charge for more than 10 min now.
Nonetheless, even though I haven't figured out the exact problem other than like an earlier post said simply "my real problem is I have a Lenovo." Other manufacturers don't seem to be having this processor throttling problem.
On the other hand for now the youtube bandaid is better than buying a whole new system.
Thanks, fishingme for your help and thanks to the others for your suggestions as well.
