Hey s_d...Download CPU-Z and take a look at the clock, multiplier and fsb it reports and then go into your bios and compare. If your cpu is not set to throttle, everything should be the same. You may also want to check memory using CPU-Z and compare it to the bios settings. If the bios and CPU-Z are the same, you may be starting to experience a corrupted OS. It would also be good to check the on board temp readings and compare them to something like Speedfan. Temps between the two should be around 5-7 degrees or so. It may help to narrow down a possible developing mobo problem as well. I'll circle while you try to unjam your guns. plug_nickel (Al) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
