So, I installed windows 8 and overclocked my system. In task manager my cpu speed is at 3.18ghz (standard speed), but in cpuz it shows as 3.85ghz which is what i have it at now. The system clock has also sped up with the overclock so now it is traveling into the future (seconds are shorter). Any suggestions on what to do? It also affects games, in LFS the timer is fast and the cars are much quicker.

thanks,
Jack.

System specs:
AMD 1090t @ 3.85ghz 16x240
8gb ocz platinum
asus crosshair IV formula
5770 1gb

Possible speedhack? Sorry I can't help you, but this sounds somewhat hilarious.

All I could do is find another person with that problem you have (also an AMD CPU), but no solution was find. I did read something about BIOS failing, but I doubt that...

Yeah, not gonna try multiplayer XD I can't find anything on it either

EDIT: I've also changed from 16x240 to 19x200, that hasnt solved the problem

And now i feel stupid as a windows update has solved the problem
