You've overclocked the CPUs from 1.4 to 3.1GHz? Wow! What method did you use to overclock? Are the ratios good?

What kind of PSU and cooling system do you have? Are your voltages stable? What temperatures do you get at idle and during gameplay?

EDIT: I've merged your 2 threads because they're probably both related to the overclock. Have you tried running at default speeds and default BIOS settings?

Well aculey on other sites now it says CPU: 2 processors running - Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz CPU Speed: 2.80 GHz Performance Rated at 5.04 GHz so 5.04 ghz lol but i have my pc when you goto controll panel then there a thing called performance i go to that then adjusted the power setting to max performance and i have the visuals on max performance and where can i check voltage stables,temp, and PSU cooling

Clear the CMOS via the jumper on your Motherboard. Read your motherboard's manual to locate the jumper.
