CPU Runs at 0.8ghz. Tried Everything. :( Help!

[Dago]

Hi!
My CPU is running at 0.8ghz instead of 3,2ghz. I have tried everything from resetting the battery on the motherboard, loading defaults, disabling every power saving thing i can find, setting the max and min to 100%.

Anyone ever heard of this happening?

Only problem i can see is that my system temperature in the bios shows 127c, which i know is not an actual temp but i am wondering if this could be throttling the cpu in some way. 

Any other things i can try before just taking it in for repairs. 

 

 

I have 
Intel i5-4460 3.2ghz
Windows 10 64 bit
XFX Radeon r9 280x
8gb ddr3 corsair vengeance pro black
Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PV motherboard
Cooler Master GX II 650W

is its actually or is it just saying that

Not too sure, but the CPU should be under 50c while idle. They throttle at 100c. Does it feel hot?

Yes, this would in every way be throttling your CPU. Make sure that it isn't ACTUALLY running that hot. To do this, open the case, run the computer and touch the heatsink. If its suuuuper hot, then it may in fact be running at that temp, if it just feels "pretty warm" then your thermal sensor is gone.

And if the cooler isn't even warm, then the problem is that it's not properly making contact with the CPU, and that's why it's overheating.

When you're in BIOS, does it also say 0.8GHz?

[steffeeh]

If it's reading 127C then shouldn't the computer shut down to prevent damage?

sounds like your thermal sensor has seen its last day my friend.

I'm worried dude... I had a GPU chip die before, actually 2 in my life that the chip died..... the temp would jump way high in just a few seconds.... hopefully it's not ur chip.

Every hardware monitoring software i have used says my cpu is at arouned 30-35c just in my bios it shows 127c system temp.

The thing is that hardware monitoring software says that it is around 30-35c just in the bios does it show up as 127c system temperature. The cpu part is that my CPU is runnig at 1/4 of its performance constantly. So not sure what that means in terms of the sensor throttling things.

Yeah? Would this affect throttling?

I dont think it actually is anywhere close to that. I think that it is just throttling.

The cpu heatsink isnt even warm to the touch. I think the sensor is gone. Could this actually throttling things this bad?

if it was throttling it wouldnt run at .8 consistently no? it would start higher then throttle down the hotter it gets. I would try Re seating the CPU and re applying the thermal paste just to make sure, but seems like a software problem more than a hardware prioblem.

127c........ what's with that number it seems to appear alot in cpu glicheS.

I have done this already unfortunately, i think i just have to take it in

Thats why i have kind of ignored it as of late until i realised that my CPU was running at this constantly low 0.800ghz

maybe if the cpu thermal sensor is damaged and thinks its running really hot it and constantly throttling down... 

 

idk id search google for any that has had the same problem, i doubt its your cpu, try resetting your mobo BIOS

Ive tried pretty much all of the above and cant find a solution anywhere on the internet.

what mobo do u have?

I think it's a max reading on some cpu sensors...... which usually means a bad sensor. but if it shows Normal in ur is then idk. have you tried manually setting the clock.... like overclocking it but not really? also I think there are ways to make the sensor ignored

Also usually if a cpu overhears right away it'll show a warning on boot

I havent found anything that actually disables it tho

if the thermal sensor is saying your cpu is at 127C then it would send info saying, hey this thing is really hot can you slow it down until its not going to fry eggs. the cpu would then throttle until it comes down in temperature, if the cpu doesn't do so (or possibly in this case the thermal sensor gives a reading saying it hasn't) it will continue to throttle... hard...
