try run something that use much CPU usage and use CPUz to check the frequency is really running at 2.8 GHz or 2.1 GHz

if it running at 2.1 GHz, try run windows update to install or update any drivers

in bios you can also change frequency, try it to 2800mhz
if you dont have this option i dont know then

 

[Deepesh Shenoy]

Nothing Related to OC in BIOS .... 🙁

Go into msconfig, boot tab, advanced boot options. Set the number of cores to 2, then reboot.

Go into msconfig, boot tab, advanced boot options. Set the number of cores to 4, then reboot.

Tried That Already Still At 2.10Ghz 🙁

Set the "minimum and maximum processor level" to 100 percent in your power plan. Disable Speedstep in your Bios, if you have that setting. Google Core Parking. You can lock the processor at 100 percent using a program or registry entries. Failing all that, you might try reinstalling the OS.

 

[Deepesh Shenoy]

The Min ANd MAx Processor is Anyways Locked to 100% , Disabled C1E Function in BIOS ( Probably Speedstep ) As I Cant see Speedstep in the whole BIOS .....And I Dont think the OS Problem because Other OS ARe ALso SHowing 2.10Ghz

 

[Deepesh Shenoy]

Should I Disable or Enable Core Parking ? Idk What Core PArking does...

 

[Deepesh Shenoy]

Or Is it because of a 32-bit OS ? and the processor is 64Bit supported

 

[BadActor]

Running a 32 bit OS isn't a problem. I think your best bet is to just reinstall your operating system.

 

[Deepesh Shenoy]

I Think Its not the OS Problem Because Even Other OS SHows the same thing...

 

[BadActor]

Sorry, missed that. Then it's likely your motherboard doesn't support that processor. You can see if there is a BIOS update available, but chances are slim with it being an older socket and chipset.

 

[Deepesh Shenoy]

No problem.....Even I Think That This BIOS Should Be upgraded...And I Couldnt Find a way to upgrae it ....WHenever I google it They Say You Should use BIOSAgentPlus which we should pay 25$ For it and i want it in a free way...
