inspiron 4150 running at half speed

[socalcowboy]

I have a dell inspiron 4150 that is 2 ghz. But under all conditions it only runs at 717mhz even under a full load, I even disabled speedstep under the bios and tried plugging it in and every but nothing seems to work.

Thanks

What are you using to watch the speed?

Motherboard Monitor and I can just tell it is running extremely slow for a 2 ghz machine, and when I scroll down it takes forever and does it frame by frame

Have you called Dell yet?
