My computer seems to be overclocking. Under system properties and in the general tab, it says im running at 3.1ghz. But in my BIOS it says im running 2.98ghz?!

How do I turn down the clocking to 3Ghz or lower?

Hey I do not think it's a problem at all. My bios reads my processor speed differently to Windows XP (at least in my case). In the BIOS I have readings that say I am at 2000Mhz...and in the system, I have 1920. I know however, that the 1.92 is what I closest to what I am running at (167 * 11.5). Don't worry about it. The readings simply differ.

JAN :D
 
Well, i wouldnt really worry, but I got an error message that came up after a random shut.....and after the message was sent in explorer popped up with a windows critical error saying that its my CPU that caused the crash.
 
hmm I don't think that it would be the CPU clock that caused the problem. It is only a FSB of 206MHz to go from ~3GHz to 3.1GHz which is well within the acceptable variation of FSB in standard use

Yes but it shouldnt be off by 100MHz. but with the crazy multipliers for Intel procs i guess that makes sense :)
