You might have SpeedStep enabled.  So you say the Utilization will not go above 34 percent ?  Can you run a stability test like Aida64 which you can get for free and run a stability test to see if it will shoot to 100 percent usage and to see if your Speed goes to 2.3Ghz.  Let us know

I saw speed step on in bios so I turned it off and downloaded heavy load to test the cpu it was running at 100% in the program but when I opened task manager it was still running 34% then I ran intel processer diagnostic tool and that said it was running at 2.3 Ghz but it wasn't.
