Press Del or F2 (depends on the model) at boot screen to enter BIOS settings.
Don't change anything other than Turbo Boost setting.

What gives you the idea that is [I]isn't[/I] on? Any i5 motherboard should have turbo-boost enabled as a default in the bios. The only way it is disabled is if you set the overclocking mode to XMP (It's normally set to automatic). No offense but if you don't even know what the bios is you shouldn't be in there changing settings as you could seriously harm your computer if you do something wrong. I have a Core i5-750, so I'm speaking from experience.

^^ as said above it should be active by default. If it for some reason is deactivated, turn it on from the BIOS.
But Turbo Boost isnt something you turn on and off when u think its needed, its activated when you are running applications that for example dont take advantage of all cores and when the power comsumption and temperature is good, then the processor will increase the speed (MHz) on the active cores instead of using lower speed on all cores. But it should be done automatically and seamlessly when its possible to use. Just make sure that your laptop gets enough power and that the cooling is good for you to take advantage of the Turbo Boost feature. :wve:
