Some problems with intel core 2 duo e7400

[Andysor3]

Ok, so i’ve got some problems with my intel core 2 duo e7400, it usually goes by the speed of 2.8 ghz, but mine is stuck at 1.6 ghz it wont go any lower or higher, i don’t know why, and it influences significantly the speed of my pc. (yes i know about the thechnology to save power , but in my case it is not the case, because mine is stuck, and it wont go any further no matter how hard i stress it, like playing gta 5) Even when i turn on the PC , in that white text from the begining it says “intel core 2 duo 1.6 ghz” instead of 2.8 ghz. My motherboard is gigabyte ga-945gm-s2. Any solutions ? (i also tried the intel core 2 duo e7300 2.66 ghz and it had the same problem , seems that my motherboard have something with the intel core 2 duo, because i tried another procesor "intel pentium dual core 2.4 ghz and it recognized at full speed , and it didn’t get stuck to a certain speed/frequency)

Hi Andysor3. Have you tried resetting your BIOS back to default values?

If you go to Control Panel< System and Security< Power Options, is the power plan set to high performance?

Thanks for the help, but seems like my motherboard doesn’t recognize that cpu, it only recognize 2-3 intel core 2 duos, the rest it only starts with them but it shows no cpu id and frequency.
