Just flashed the BIOS and the problem is, my core cpu speed runs at just 2400.1 MHz(checked with cpu-z), it should be reading closer to 3000. The pc has froze at times for no reason and i'd have to hold the power button down to shut it off. When i start the pc, it says 3.0GHz on the startup screen. But there is nothing in the BIOS bout core speed. So my question is, is there anything i can do to get my speed up to where it should be running at? Or just best call Intel and ask them about this and see what they suggest?
A friend of mine told me to make sure i have the shunts positioned coorectly...which i didn't. Got them on in the right places and now the core speed is up where it should be when under a heavy load. The simplist things can make a difference. Abuzar, i will get in my BIOS and check that and see bout changing it. Thank you.
