ok so suddenly out of the blue it seems that the intel speedstep isn't working, i mean i as soon as i log into my pc its constantly at the overclocked 3.6GHz and never comes down no matter what is running. Now im alright with that but i dont want to wearout the processor by having it running as if on full load when im just browsing the internet. I haven't gone into the bios to change anything ever so you can rule that out. Could a programme changed it at all? Also what would it come under in the bios? Cheers guys
