    Sounds like you have spread spectrum enabled.

    Re: 2188 mhz???????

    Well why would it all the sudden change like that. Its never said anything other then 2200 since ive had the pc and believe me i check alot. oooooooooooo wait. I dl this program i dident think was going to work for my graphics processor but it was suposed to overclock it atitool is what it was called but i dident even attempt to adjust anything because it said my version wasnt supported. but that shouldent have anything to do with my processor speed. This is a hp computer. Also can anyone tell me how to fix it please because its really bugging me

    Re: 2188 mhz???????

    Anyone?????........I never enabled anything to affect its clock speed its the same setup as when i took it out the box with the exception of the ram and i changed the graphics card from a quality setting to a performance setting. But neither of those are obviously the reason. I mean its not like i can go into my bios and fix it cuz its a damn hp( thers no options for anything in my bios). I cant figure out how to fix it ive googled it yahooed it teomaed . I even asked the IT guy who helps my parents out. He has no idea. Its really driving me crazy knowing its running at 2188 . And i dont want to overclock right now ( partially because i cant ) i just want it to run at what its supposed to.
    *EDIT*
    Ok so i just restarted my pc went into my ati tray icon for my graphics processor went to that system information and it read 1.77 ghz. Ok whats going on? its obviously not the spread spectrem thing. Because now my bios says 2200 my system information on windows says 2188 and my system information from my ati tray icon is 1770 mhz. Im so confused ....which is it running at and why is it doing all this.

    just push the bus over stock and get some more out of it.in any case,a few mhz wont kill ure performance

    Re: 2188 mhz???????

    You must have Cool & Quiet running, which will throttle the CPU depending on demand. If you have it enabled in the bios, did you install the AMD driver for it?

    Re: 2188 mhz???????

    I just restarted and went into the bios and there is no cool and quiet option in there. actually there really isnt many options in there. Bios still reads 2200 and system info still 2188 but now system properties reads 2.19 instead of 1.77? And i havent installed any drivers for amd since i bought this pc 2 monthes ago.

    "CPU Clock Speed 994.9 MHz
    Clock multiplier x 5.0"
    says to me that you do have C'n'Q enabled.

    probably in the power management section of the BIOS - what board?
