Looks like your CPU's reference clock is set to 100 MHz and ratio (Multiplier??) value is set to 8. Then the processor core speed (100X8) = 800MHz. Please see the list of values in the ratio CMOS setting or if there is something like "Auto" then set the ration CMOS settings to "Auto". Before doing that run CPU-Z and note down the values of "Core Speed", "Multiplier", "Bus Speed", "Rated FSB". After adjusting or seeting the BIOS ratio CMOS settings to higher value than 8, save the settings and Start the windows. Run CPU-Z again, notice any change happened or not in the CPU Core speed.

Also I would like to know what did the screen shows the CPU freq. after POST??

800MHz sounds like your RAM speed. Where are you getting this number from?

Strange. Try this.

Right Click on My Computer, go to Hardware, click Device Manager.

Find Processor, click the + if there is one to expand it.

Right click your Processor and update the driver.

Is this a laptop or a normal PC?

I'm going for a while, so I will give you a few things to try.

Download CPU-Z and see what that says:
http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php


Also try try this:

Start>Run>type in:services.msc>OK

Now scroll down to Event Viewer (or Event Logger). Double Click on it and make the Startup type Automatic from the drop down box. Click Apply. Also click on the Start button to start the service. Click OK.

If neither of those things work it could be the BIOS or a power issue. I'll reply when I get back,or someone else might be here to help.

Have checked the CPU multiplier in the BIOS? It could be the issue, if Multiplier is set to a lower level (e.g: Reference Clock 200MHz, Multiplier 4) then CPU will work at a lower clock.

Download CPU-Z and check the clock speed that it reports.

You wouldn't be confusing your processor clock with your front side bus would you? Some P4 chips run at 800mhz FSB.

how i relized the problem is i was downloading a game and i was getting an error so i ran a test for compatibilty and it said processor running at 800 mhz minamum requirements were rated at 1.2 ghz the processor is a 2.6 gig

ok thanks i will try that



Also if there is an option called "Load Optimized Defaults" or like that in your BIOS then apply that and exit the BIOS setup by saving the settings. This might set the CPU to its original frequency (2.6GHz).

Its my honor to help you. :) .

When you set Optimized settings in BIOS it worked, right?

If you want then choose my post as the best answer. This will increase my member point. :D

Thanks...
