Phenom II 965 Clocket At 800Mhz!

[silverspeed01234]

Hi there. I just bought a AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4GHz.

When I put it into my ASRock NF7G-Glan motherboard the mobo recognized the cpu model and make but it was clocked at 800Mhz instead of 3.4Ghz.
I tried updating the bios and tweaking with the settings, however when I try to manually change the clock speeds the pc does not start up. I have alos tried turning off Cool'n'Quiet and changing the power settings in windows 7. I have checked the clock speed in the bios and in cpu-z. It is not a glitch and I am getting worse performance than my AMD athlon 64x2 6000+

My Pc is:
ASRock NF7G-GLAN
AMD Phenom II x4 965
ATi HD4850
4GB 800Mhz OCZ ram(2x2GB)
Windows 7 64-Bit

I would be grateful for any tips or advice you guys have for me other than buying a new motherboard.
Thanks.

Run Passmark, 3DVantage, or Prime95 while using CPU-Z to monitor the clock speed.

It seems your board does not support the cpu. Or any cpu from AMD with a TDP rating over 95w.

^ Hmmm, see if you can get an exchange or RMA for a PhenomII x4 945 @ 3.0GHz

It's usually about $40 cheaper than the 965 so you'll some of your money back as well.

If its clocked at 800mhz, chances are its in cool n quiet mode.......

As soon as you increase clock multiplier it will not post!

It runs the :
AM2+ Phenom Quad Core HD9750XAJ4BGH Agena 2400MHz 1800MHz 512KB x4 2MB B3 125W All

and it runs 955 seems bizarre

Well guys turns out the reason for this is that the motherboard onyl supports cpus up to 95w.
I went out and had to buy a new motherboard that could support 125w but i got one that could do 140w just as a precaution.
Thanks for your help anyway guys.
