I have an q 6600 mounted on DG35EC. Its been 5 year since i have been using this system. But it all started a cuople of months ago. The system goes under clocked for no reason. The motherboard fsb supposed to be fixed considering you can't be overclocked it . Its a lock system unless you have a some sort of mob in action. I don't know what is happening ! Here is what cpuz says

Thats not right :)

Are the temperatures etc ok? If it is hot it might be throttling.

Other than that I would clear the Bios and see if that sorts it. If not I would then be tempted to see if updating the bios cures the error.

Temp is ok. Its 40c. Its a very old mobo and it has the latest bios installed ( mobo support withdrawn by intel in 2010). Is it symptoms of dying system or windows has something to do with it, i don't know..
