Asus Rampage IV will not boot unless in slow mode

• 
  CPU i7 3820
  Motherboard Asus Rampage IV
  Ram 4 X 4gb
  Gpu GTX Titan
  Psu Corsair rm850

I built this and couldn't get it started at all. It truly broke my heart for a solid week, I couldn't install an OS it wouldn't post, when I got the OS to finally install if I started the machine without the CPU in slow mode it would blue screen as it was booting.

I left it in slow mode and it was all good for a few days until I started downloading my favorite games and I was seeing 16-23 fps in some games.

After talking to the guys at Nvidia they spotted that the 3.6 GHz cpu was running at 1.1 GHz.

Doe's anyone have any idea what to do?

slow mode? that doesn't make any sense. do you mean normal boot mode? anyway, that is 4yo tech, so I assume you got everything used.

first of all it sounds like everything is not set up right.
1) update the bios to the latest bios that asus makes for that motherboard
2) hold down the MEMOK button and let the system boot, a lot of problems with ROG boards can be fixed with this
3) check cpu temps. I assume you have a cpu cooler?

get back to us after you've done this much

Flashed Bios to latest Firmware
Mem OK (Removed all ram running just 1 stick of 4GB ram)
I have a Corsair H100i Cooler Temp is are +/- 37 degrees see HERE

I did spot that the multiplier looks rather low (possibly the core voltage too)

that's the power saving features, it downclocks and lowers the voltage to the cpu when it's not under load.

try it when you're gaming.

I have cpu cant pass 1.15 GHz so my fps was between 25-40 fps.

Ive managed to finally get it booting the OS in normal mode but after a fiew minutes I am getting BSOD video scheduler international error and clock watchdog timeout

we might be looking at this in the wrong way.

1) make sure your motherboard drivers are completely up to date
2) uninstall and reinstall your video card drivers
3) download MSI Afterburner, and make a log or post screenies of it's readings when you're playing.
