Processor running half speed.[moved from XP by z1p]

Hey guys,

I hope you can help me, my processor is running half speed on me, I'm pretty sure its supposed to run 2.5 ghz but its running a slow 1.3 ghz, this is pretty drastic considering its a new computer.

here are my specs: AMD Phenom X4 9850
1.3 ghz, 3.25 GB ram (supposed to be 4)
Im running windows XP SP3 on it
My video card is a Ati radeon 5750
I have as motherboard Asus M4A785-M

Please any help would be appreciated, and I apologize if I am in the wrong category.

Hi,

You may need to update your BIOS to version 0906 - the BIOS number can be found during system boot up.

I couldn't find your 'board on the AMD supported list.

Best of luck.
