    It's normal. All intel CPUs, even desktops, clock down when not pressed. I believe it applies to AMD CPUs as well.

    Take out the AC Adapter,

    Take out the battery,

    press the power button for 15 seconds.

    Re insert the battery.

    Re insert the adapter.

    Boot, and it should be back to the original state.

    I had this problem sometimes, and this would always fix the problem.
