My CPU is running att 1GHZ !!!!!

RakOOn · Nov 2, 2013

Hello guys! IM SO IN AGONY now , i just realized my cpu is running at 1ghz , it's an i5 760 2.8ghz normally. I think my CPU has burnt or taken damage because of overheating... cause i had it run for 2 weeks at around 80C... All my games lagg that's how i found out

Is there any way to fix this

or do i need a new one like a cow?

I think you fried it. Unfortunately that means buying a new cpu unless you want to keep it at 1 ghz.

Like a cow? Lol.

What are you using to check your speeds?

It can also be attributed to power saving features if you're looking at it when your PC is idle.

Cpu Z and windows spec thing says 1.2ghz . IM SO DEAD RIGHT NOW! NO MONEY

IM A COW!

Is the cpu still reporting a temp of 80c or more.
If so the darn thing is throttling to cope with heat.

Turn your fan speed up. And if using an Intel stock cooler change it out for a larger after market one.

Take a trip into the bios and see what the throttle trigger is set to in oC.

If you have it set to auto, then change it to manual and set a value higher.
if the the throttle trigger is set very low.

some days ago i reapplied thermal paste , it's on 40C exactly now. My CPU is running at 100% during gaming

JOOK-D · Nov 2, 2013

RakOOn :

DId it previously run at 100%?

Try what the people in this thread have suggested.

RakOOn · Nov 2, 2013

No it didn't it started running at 1ghz and 80-100C suddenly. I took off the fan , and there was no thermal paste left (or some dried) so i reapplied and the temps went down but the clock didn't go up . So i think it burned.

Well for the lack of better option - go to your BIOS, load optimized defaults, restart then go to BIOS again and see what clock your cores are running at.

RakOOn · Nov 2, 2013

Any tutorial on how to do that?

sergeyn · Nov 2, 2013

What do you run when you measure frequency and how do you measure frequency ? When cpu is not under load, it's ok to be clocked at below 1ghz. Many games won't even load your cpu to 100% which it turn will make your pc clock itself down.

Right now im skyping (with a girl YAH) and im at 80% CPU , DE HELL!

sergeyn · Nov 2, 2013

Skyping with a girl should't get your cpu up to 80% (unless your gf is too hot). Any particular process in the process explorer taking all your cpu?

sergeyn :

HAHA

RakOOn · Nov 2, 2013

I use Chrome (No rly?) only tomshardware, Skype , Spotify (not listening) , Steam , my antivirus AVG , my g19 logitech client console. It really shouldn't be at 80% anyways.

JOOK-D · Nov 2, 2013

RakOOn :

Check task manager, find out which program is hogging all of the usage.

RakOOn · Nov 2, 2013

Skype is the thing that drags the most. Cause she's hot. And who told u that was my gf?

RakOOn · Nov 4, 2013

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT'S 100% sure it's fried , cause i wanna buy a new one today.

JOOK-D · Nov 4, 2013

RakOOn :

Don't feel so entitled.

It's not that easy to diagnose. Honestly, your CPU is most likely the problem however it could also be your motherboard.

RakOOn · Nov 4, 2013

I'm going to check in the BIOS , brb

Torrkorv · Nov 4, 2013

Atleast u can cook eggs on it!

RakOOn · Nov 4, 2013

It's set to ratio 21x , says it's at 1.2ghz. But should be at 2.8 , even tried to overclock it a little to 2.93 , didn't change. So it's officially fried? =)

RakOOn · Nov 4, 2013

Please tell me fast

JOOK-D · Nov 4, 2013

Not a clue.

RakOOn · Nov 4, 2013

I just booted in safe mode , Windows and CPU-Z say i'm running 2.8GHZ! So i thought maybe it is a malware so i made a quick scan with malwarebytes , destroyed the files and rebotted the pc into normal. Still same problem, even tho in safe mode i was on 2.8ghz? Any help? I'm doing a full scan now just to be sure.

My CPU is running att 1GHZ !!!!!
