Processor lowered from a 5.8 to a 4.2 after a fresh Windows install, Any idea what could cause this and any suggestions to fix?

Screenshot looks fine.
If you disable speed step etc.. in the bios you will get a higher score. It keeps the cpu from downclocking between tests which results in a higher score.
WEI is pretty much useless. You can run the test and get a different score each run . My processor and memory score 7.6 but my dual GTX 460's score 4.2. So the test is not very accurate.

sniffy
