1218439 2011-07-22 12:20:00 I believe (from a lot of research) due to a low battery resetting the BIOS.
My processor is a AMD Turion X2 RM-72 2.1GHz

I used CPU-Z and its currently running at:
Core Speed: 525.0 MHz
Multiplier: x 2.63
Bus Speed: 200.00 MHz

This gives it a 526 MHz speed, right?

Do I just need to increase the multiplier through the BIOS to bump it back up to 2.1 GHz or am I completely wrong?

1218440 2011-07-22 20:13:00 You seem to have diagnosed your own problem.

Try setting the multiplier to x4 and you should get 2.1GHz

Can't comment on what your bus speed should be.

1218441 2011-07-22 22:03:00 have you checked cpu-z while you are running something processor intensive?, I would have thought this was just the cpu clocking down to save power when it's not needed, I know intel calls it speed step but I'm not sure what the equivalent amd tech is called. lagbort (5041)
1218442 2011-07-22 22:07:00 I think its called CoolnQuiet on AMD CPU's.

Disable it in the BIOS
