[codnan]

cheked those scores and they are actualy pretty good but still dont understand why it sais my cpu is running at 1.6
i hadnt enabled xmp but have now and ran anouther prime torture test for 1.5 hours and no errors or warnings at 61c and under

ran 3dmark vantage again and it crashes with grey stripy screen which i thought ati was meant to of fixed ages ago so ran again and according to HWmonitor the gpu didnt go much above 50c and it reported the correct ghz for the processor too

The HD 4850 is a DirectX 10 GPU http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-4000/hd-4850/Pages/ati-radeon-hd-4850-specifications.aspx

So I assume Direct X 11 isn't installed, also if you run Windows update there's a 2D/3D Optional update that I recommend you install for improved stability. This update seemed to help some older GPUs.

Yes, the CPU has 'Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology' and the CPU Ratio goes down when there's no load. To try this, open CPU-Z with nothing running -- then run Prime95 -- ta-da 33 3.3GHz.

cool

downloaded win updates and made sure directx was was 10.1 ...unfortunatly looking around there seems to have been a lot of issues with ati cards and win 7 64bit involving crashes to grey stripy screens ! i dont think there is anything i can do as i cant realy find anyone who has conclusivly found a fix ,unless anyone here knows of anything i can do the ebay seller i bought it off has agreed to refund but i will still loose postage x2

Okay - Good Luck!

It seems the MOBO is good and hopefully a new GPU will do the trick.

just as everything seemd good (even the double posting has stopped) when the computer goes into standby (the screen turns off ) after about 10 mins it just powers down and switches off and when i switch it back on it sais windows wasnt shut down properly

Could be S3 issues + devices edit: including Drivers or corruption from all those sudden shutdowns. I assume that you went to the MOBO website, downloaded ALL of the Drivers and installed them. Also that Windows 7 is SP1 with all the Hotfixes installed. If you somehow screwed-up the Drivers then open the Device Manager and right-click on all of the Drivers listed {expanding the [+] trees} -> select Update Driver.

Corrupted files CMD Prompt {run as administrator}
sfc /scannow

Sleep problems CMD Prompt {run as administrator}
powercfg -energy

copy the energy-report.htm to the desktop and open as located in the report ; ignore the USB stuff if you have a Keyboard, Mouse or All-in-one card reader.

Lastly, to rule-out a Conflict run MSCONFIG -> select Diagnostic and allow the PC to Sleep if this corrected the problem then you've got the task of finding out where the conflict is.

so your initial problem was the CPU led light on your mobo and you end up replacing GPU... what happen to the led light ?
The CPU led light,double boot is known issue with Asus MB's ,if you Google a bit you will find most of the answers to your problems,same goes to sleep problem (C state) which is mention in hundreds of threads,please visit some of this threads and make it easy on your salfe
