Check with CPU-Z. Sometimes Windows gets the CPU speed messed up. Mine shows my CPU is running at 3.75GHz when in fact it as at 4.5GHz. If CPU-Z also shows the same reading it is teh correct one and your CPU is simply downclocking to reserve power.

Then you have nothing to worry about, just Windows is acting up, as always.
