If you read carefully on CPU-Z you will see that it stats you have 2 Cores in the bottom right corner. you can only select 1 core as the other core is exactly the same so there is no need for two pages.
Also when your CPU is in idle the CPU will cut back on the "Core speed" to save power and reduce heat. It does this by lowering the multiplier. Its built-in to many new CPU's. Your cores should run at 2.6ghz each on full load. Thus why there is a 5200+ in the name of your CPU.
On Full load the Multiplier will jump to 13 or close to it.

Edit: Even using a USB keyboard you can access the BIOS. If you having trouble clear the CMOS via the jumper on the motherboard.
