    Is the laptop plugged in ?
    When the laptop is on battery it underclocks to save power.

    ok I did some searching and found out that it was a temprature problem, it turns out that ATI overdrive clockes down the GPU to decrease the temprature, so what I did is I shutdown the pc, wait a while to cool down and the GPU clock speed returned to normal... :)
