2.6GHz drops below frequency above 1.6GHz
2.6GHz drops below frequency above 1.6GHz
Is it an attempt to increase performance or is the processor experiencing heat issues?
When I increased the CPU frequency beyond 120 in BIOS (the default is 200), the PC would shut down unexpectedly. As a result, I switched to using a 2.6 GHz CPU instead of the original 1.6 GHz one.
System details:
Pentium Dual Core E5300 @2.60GHz 1.6GHz
2 GB RAM
G31D-M7 Biostar motherboard
HD 3450 GPU
350 W Everest EPS-4900B PSU
160 GB HDD 7200 RPM

Temperatures are normal, but I think the PSU might be the issue. It’s an old faulty PSU, so its failure isn’t unexpected.
Are you attempting to increase the CPU speed or is it overheating? I'm actually reducing the CPU frequency. Frequencies above 1.6 GHz trigger a system shutdown. The 2.6GHz setting previously worked without issues.

Temperatures are normal, but I suspect the PSU might be the issue. It’s an old PSU from a long time ago, so its failure isn’t unexpected.
I’m wondering if the problem lies with the PSU itself, even though it’s marketed as quality. Could it also be related to the motherboard, which is fairly old and showing signs of wear?
Capacitors are another possibility?

Temperatures are normal, but I suspect the PSU might be the issue. It’s an old, faulty unit, so failure isn’t unexpected.
I’m wondering if the problem lies with the PSU despite claims of quality. Could it also be related to the motherboard, which is quite old and showing signs of wear?
