EasyNote C3300 Problem

Oblong Cheese · 19th September 2006, 12:41 PM

Hi guys,

This is a trouble shooting thread related specifically to a laptop, so if it's in the wrong forum, mods can you please move it?

Anyway, got a Packard-Bell EasyNote C3300 here, pretty old these days, it's an XP-M 2600+ (1.67Ghz). The problem is that, either connected to AC power or on battery, it's always running at about 500Mhz, either in Windows XP or Ubuntu Linux, whichever's booted at the time.

I'm wondering why it would be doing this, and how to fix it?

I have checked in the (limited) BIOS and there appears to be nothing configurable there, so any ideas?
