Hi all,
I recently bough a gigabyte EP45-UD3LR mobo and after installing windows Xp on it I realized that it is so slow.
I always have to wait when I do something like open a new window in firefox or even when clicking on the start button. So i checked if everything is working at full speed and i realized that the Cpu is only runing at 1.6 ghz on idle.
It is a Q6600 normaly working at 4 x 2.4 ghz 266mhz by 9 mult. but now it has the multi. set at 6 when idle and rise up to 9 when I luch bigger apps.
I rised the FSB to 333 mhz and it helped a little bit but the multi stays at 6 on idle.
I want to know if anyone can help me to find out :
1) how to get my cpu constantly working at 266 or 333 by 9 (ingame it is stable at 333*9)
2) if that isn't the problem, why is my pc so slow ? ( have 2x 2gb DDR 2 800 from OCZ )
I'm sorry for my english, i never learned it at school and had to learn by myself.
thank you for your help. i realy need it
