Phenom II x3 running @ 800mhz HELP

[HELP_ME]

OK, so i was trying to set my ram speed to 1600mhz (what it is suppose to run at) and i set it in the bios then restarted and i get a warning message saying it has stopped starting up to prevent damage to my computer. so w/e i restart my comp, all goes well but then i notice in cpuz my cpu is running at 800mhz.... so i check the bios and it says its running at 2600mhz like it should be but on cpuz it says the multipier is set to 4. now im scared. help?

In the BIOS you have to check whether you have AMD Quiet'n'Cool enabled/disabled. If enabled it will underclock your CPU when it's not under heavy usage and that will show up in CPU-Z, I believe.

ummm i guess i should disable it? cause i know it enabled but its not working very well because it never goes higher than 800mhz. i just launched a game and the frames were awful.

ya, what about Easy Energy Saver? is it something similar?

Disable all those, such as coon n quiet and whatnot. Also, check to make sure you didnt downclock your cpu when setting memory frequency.

Plus when you set the memory to 1600 you need to set the Voltage and Timing for what ever its suppost to be at 1600. Thats probably the reason it gave you the (prevent damage to my computer)when you restarted.
