Recently, I just bought a new cpu (FX8350) for my desktop replacing my 1100T. Once I installed it, It runs perfectly fine . But when I view my core clock and multiplier in CPUID it becomes 'not stable'
. I mean sometimes it runs x7 multiplier @1.4ghz and then turns back to @4ghz. How do I make it constantly running @ 4ghz ?

That'll be AMDs 'Cool n Quiet' technology. Basically a fancy way of saying it downclocks when not in use.
I'm not entirely sure why you would want to turn it off because it saves power and heat, but if you really wanted to there are multiple ways to go about doing it.
1. In the BIOS, disable Cool n' Quiet.
2. If you use the AMD Catalyst software, there's a section in that where you can set the CPU bar from 1.4-4 to 4-4ghz. Probably not the best way.
3. Set the power mode in Windows to High Performance from Balanced.

Again, it's not having any performance limitations. If you watch Core Temp while it's idle at that clock and then open a browser or something it will shoot straight back up to 4.0GHz.

That's the power saving features kicking in. It is stable, just downclocking when idle to save power - it won't affect performance.

If you really do want to turn it off, go into BIOS and turn off all the power saving features like Cool n Quiet, C6 etc.
