CPU never reach the base speed

I have a Celeron E3300 and it has a base speed of 2.5Ghz. (I know, the CPU is outdated) 

The problem is. The CPU usage gets never higher than 91% and it reaches never the base speed. 

Is the CPU damaged? IS this normal or is it a fault of windows?

 

Thanks in advance

You might have SpeedStep enabled in BIOS.  Make sure that is OFF !

Where is that option in my bios? I cannot find it. 

By the way, It not a K processor.

Go to advanced CPU options,  I have no idea what your motherboard would say but basically advanced CPU config where you will find Turbo and SpeedStep!

I can't find it. I have viewed all the tabs in the bios but I don't see it. Will it be off when you restore defaults?

Good Question depends on the motherboard but I believe if you reset to BIOS defaults it will be set to Auto and possibly disable it.  Worth a shot.
