Presario 2172US
Just bought a new Compaq Presario 2172 Ahtlon that is advertised as 2500+
and is supposed to go at 1.87 GHz. When I go into System Information, it says 519 MHz. Why is that happeneing and what can I do about it. I have had the machine about a week. -- Nate Rosenthal |

Were you running on batteries or plugged into the wall? On batteries, it
likely slows down to preserve battery life. Tom "Nate Rosenthal" wrote in message news:xT5vb.255063$HS4.2300502@attbi_s01...

Interesting
Plugged in or not it is coming up at 519MB, but when we hit cancel it goes to 1.875 GHz and stays there. "Tom Scales" wrote in message ... Were you running on batteries or plugged into the wall?

Well MB is memory, so this must be a typo. Have you tried querying the system setup via F10? A new system with a problem would have me returning to the store ASAP, especially if only after a week or two. - pack |

I meant MHz
my kid is heading to west coast and needs it for trip. Returning to store is not an option, since it was shipped from Compaq directly after being bought at Staples the f10 is worth a look "Packrat" wrote in message ...

Still, it can't hurt to call at least call Staples and tell them what is going on. They could at least open a ticket for you while it is still under warranty. Just a thought. - pack |

I had this problem, goto control panel click on power options , where it says power schemes set it to always on, that should sort it out. Giro |
