My cpu is underclocking itself.

[Master097]

I have a core 2 duo e8400 but currently it is clocking at 2.39 Ghz. Please help me.

No it is not ... SpeedStep is on in BIOS,, disable it

What is the policy on linking people to threads on other websites?  

 

Edit: If there's a problem I can remove it later, there's a similar issue discussed on Tom's Hardware forums

There wasn't a "best answer" chosen, but they say to try power settings, check BIOS for FSB and multiplier, and to try updating BIOS version if all else fails.
