    Here's the problem.
    My T7700 processor, wont clock higher then 790mhz. I am running Windows XP Pro sp3 (the official microsoft version) with the latest update. I also recently installed the latest bios.

    What also bothers me is that i cant open RMClock anymore. I get an error while starting it up:
    "Not all system processors are available to the process. The application cannot continue."

    Anyone had this before?
    ps: I also have tried every scheme in Windows Power Managment

    It won't clock up even under load? Is RMClock bugged and holding the clockspeed down? When did this start?

    RMClock wont even start, i get the error and then nothing happens.
    And no, not even under load (playing a 1080p movie is horrible)

    Which Zepto model? Also make sure that Speedstep is enabled in the BIOS.

    That screenshot seems to be showing something faster than 800MHz (ie 1.6GHz, but T7700 should be faster than that).

    Maybe RMClock has got confused. Go into the RMClock folder and run RMClockWipeout.reg to clear all the settings, then rerun. If it runs make sure you set mobile CPU on the advanced page.

    As for the BIOS, I'm sure there's a stack of CPU-related settings but SpeedStep may have a different name. I don't have access to a Zepto BIOS to check.

    I think cpu-z is confused because of the 2 cores, Windows tells me that it is 800Mhz

    Have been there, done that, it still wont start..

    I have already searched the entire BIOS, and have even set the standard values.. Still no luck.

    Try shutting down, unplugging main&battery, hit power button, leave it for a while and stand without power. Might reset some deep-level confusing (of BIOS update or smth like that) on the chipset.

    Just a tought

    Maybe a re-install? Could be just a faulty setting in Windows..

    Try doing a repair instllation first, that should copy the system without messing with your installed software, spares some time installing :)

    First of all, Windows XP is not good at gauging clock speed, you're better off with CPU-Z.

    Secondly, what's your power profile on? left click on your plug/battery icon once and make sure it's on something.. standard, like Laptop/Desktop or Always On to be sure you're getting the best performance at all times.
