at a guess, your processor may have an auto-clockdown feature try this...

CONTROL PANEL > POWER OPTIONS > -- Select balanced (recommended)

or select CREATE A POWER PLAN from the side panel and select HIGH PERFORMANCE and go through the motions of creating a new power plan.

if you are already on a balanced or high performance plan then it could be underclocking due to overheating.

[irishbluestaffy]

tried both ways it was set on balanced changed it to high,still the same is there anything else i could do,thanx

[RedSpider]

perhaps try downloading the latest chipsets for your processor from intel

[irishbluestaffy]

dun that b4 still the same the pc itself seems to run the same as it did its just the base score has me worreid,thanx

[RedSpider]

access your bios and reset the default settings. while in the bios, check the cpu temperature. if it is too high then it will automatically run slow.
if its overheating, then clean it out. check your fan is running at optimum rpm. if its slowed then its not doing its job properly.
also, while in bios, go into advanced bios features and disable C1E and EIST

[irishbluestaffy]

just tried that could only see c1e not the other,the temp of cpu is 22,i also downloaded burntest and checked the cpu and it said passed,pluss on the start up screens it says 1.60 ghz insted of 2.60,this is starting to realy confuse me,thanx for your help tho

[RedSpider]

you sure? it should be there, maybe labelled as speedstep or something. list me everything in your advanced bios.

you have a 64bit processor. are you running a 64bit OS?


...oh and feel free to click the scales under my profile pic as a way of thanks

[irishbluestaffy]

hi yes im useing 64 bit os windows 7 ultimate,
advanced bios features
hard disk boot priority
first boot device
second boot device
third boot device
password check
limit cpuid max.to 3 disabled
no-execute memory protect disabled
cpu enhanced halt (c1e) disabled
cpu thermal monitor 2(tm2) enabled
virtualization technology enabled
init display first pci

[cunny]

Have you checked/done any bios updates?

Also as the bios posts first of, what does the CPU NAME AND CLOCK SPEED SAY?

Also what was the program you used to get the information

Also try downloading CPU Z Did you clean out your heat sink on the CPU

http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/1.56-setup-en.exe

[RedSpider]

how odd, your EIST should be sat there right below THERMAL MONITOR.
try pressing CTRL + F1 as soon as you enter advanced bios, see if that unlocks that which should already be there

[irishbluestaffy]

cunny it says processor intel(R) core(tm)2 cpu 1.60ghz,also i changed the heatsink last night and gave it a good clean with cpu wipes,also i downloaded that program ran it then it said validate it took me to a web page witch i coppeid which is at the top of this page but i dont no y its highlighted in red,redspidder i will try that now and c if i can get to it

[cunny]

So the info is from CPU Z?

Have a look on here to test the CPU

[irishbluestaffy]

first off redspider i tried that and nothing happend,and cunny i downloaded that and run a test and it passed on everything,strange dont no whats goin on but i no its not right could it b the mb ???

I see that you have a gigabyte MB have you got giga tune/overdrive tuning soft installed? Or something like that. this program will run in a back ground and if settings have been changed there. it will re set bios settings to whatever has been preset in that program and under clock your CPU. Open tuning soft and set it to default settings see if that works.
