Everything look ok? I can't play video games for some reason. Someone suggested ram issues. Also... I am overclocked to 3.06ghz but it shows 2.4ghz for some reason.

EDIT: I downclocked to 2.97ghz. And it reads 1.97!?

Go to CMOS and turn Intel SpeedStep off.

Is the problem with the computer in your sig or another comp?? Do you have that 7900GT?? If so, I don't know what the problem is, a 7900GT is a very good video card.

Man, nVidia traitor

Look VERY closely at that picture. It says E6600, so I'm inclined to say that it is his sig rig.

Yea its my setup.

Go to CMOS and turn Intel SpeedStep off.

How do I do that? What will that accomplish?

StepSpeed/Speedstep decreases the frequency, thus decreasing the speed. Once needed at 100%, it will rise again. Here's a lil article:

That's interesting... umm. How do I turn it off now? hahaha :-/

I followed the instructions to turn it on for WinXP. But I didn't see anything to turn it off in BIOS.

But now that i'm thinking about it. If it cranks up the frequency as soon as I load a program or something to that effect. What is the benefit of leaving the frequency cranked all the time?

You seem like a smart dude... for some reason my temps go SKYYYY high all of a sudden. Never did it before. Then the computer restarts and no issue. This will happy randomly. Have yet to figure out a pattern.
