I ran the program CPU-Z today and notice my Sempron 2800+ is only running at 800mhz. Any reason why?

Thanks,
Rob

Would you be able to post a picture . It may help people spot the problem.

No I can't, but like I said in the block for speed it says anywhere around 800mhz +/- 5

Set the power scheme in Windows XP to Home/Office Desk and see if it runs at 1.6 GHz.

This may be a result of AMD's "Cool n' Quiet" technology, which speeds down the processor when it's not being used intensively. This option can be disabled in the BIOS, but will negatively affect battery life. You can try making your processor work harder or use Matt's suggestion.
