Has the unit gone off turbo-mode??? Check the switch setting, look for
loose or absent connection, motherboard may have just had a jumper on
the turbo pins...and its off or defective/dirty.   Otherwise I'd say a
BIOS setting had been changed (or the battery is going bad and the BIOS
settings are going away), resulting in an incorrect clock divide (or
something along those lines.  Good luck  CB
