hey everybody

i have a problem with the cpu on my moms pc she bought a compaq presario pc 6 months ago and her cpu is a amd sempron 3200+ in system information it says that the core speed is 1.79 ghz and i downloaded cpu-z and i looked and it says that the cpu is running at 994.8 mhz:o what could be the problem and how would i be able to fix it

thanks

Is Windows still reporting that it's 1.79ghz after CPU-Z is loaded and opened?

I'm having a guess saying that CPU-Z might be causing the cpu clock speed to decrease while it's open.

thanks for the reply garhar

cpu-z reports it as 994.8 mhz after it's all loaded and even when i don't use cpu-z and i right click my computer and go to properties i get the same speed

anymore ideas

some CPU will decrease it's power if it not needed like my laptop has a 3.2GHZ CPU but if i don't need all that power it will go down to 1.5GHZ try operning more programs that will take up prosecore power

hey adrian

i tried your idea when i open several programs the cpu speed goes up for a couple of seconds and it goes back to the speed that it was maybe it's like you said the cpu decreases it's power if it doesn't need it
