I know the title is a little weird but here are my problems:
First, the system is an old AMD Atthlon Classic 750@936 on an ASUS K7M, with 256Mb PC-133 SD-RAM. Video is a ATI Radeon 7500@310/255(510).
PSU is 300W, I don't know what brand. The problems I describe later are also there with everything at stock speed.
OS is Win2k Pro SP2
WCPUID reports wrong speed for the CPU. it tells anything from 0,1MHz to 50MHz(changing every time I refresh), and only ocasionally shows real system speed. Same with Softfsb. Another program like Sysid shows correct speed.
3DMark 2001 (and 3DMark2000) has the same error in its system info. It reports a CPU-speed of e.g. 4MHz and the next line sayes max CPU-speed 936MHz. The benchmarks never produce prober results, because they "jump ahead". Its hard to explain, but during playback of the benches it simply skips parts of the animations and continues at another point. On the parts where it does this theres no result. Some of the tests wil run fine and then one will run badly. 1 time in 50 all the tests will run fine, and I get a result. The same problem is there with 3DMark 2000.
Games run perfect. I can play all my games with good performance and they never crash or anything.
The problem existed with my old GFX card (TNT-2 Ultra), so its not due to bad ATI drivers or something to that effect.
This problem has been here for quite a while, but I have never found a solution to it. It doesn't bother me much in my daily use, since everything is absolutely stable, but its annoying not being able to compare with my friends computers and their results.
ANY ideas are welcome. I have been searching and searching and nobody else seems to have experienced this problem
