Sort of an odd problem but I think it's effecting my graphics output.
I just recently had a new hard drive installed in my machine and now when I open System Properties the processor speed varies. It's supposed to be 2.40GHz and this is what the BIOS shows correctly. However, when I view the system properties General panel the number changes almost every time I bring it up.
So far it has ranged from only 986MHz to 1.80GHz back up to 2.40GHz
Since the BIOS consistently shows 2.4GHz I initially thought this was a non-issue. But it appears that certain applications are running slower than they were before we replaced the hard drive as if the speed is fluctuating in real time. I don't see how a new HD would effect the processor speed so much or at all.
Anyone encountered this before, have any ideas? Thanks!
