system properties

[_]

When I right click on "my computer" and them click on properties, I see a
summary which includes the amount of installed RAM and the current clock
speed for the processor. However, the clock speed has disappeared leaving
only the RAM displayed. How can I get the clock speed for the CPU to show
again?

Many Thanks

Why? Do you think it has changed when you weren't looking?

If you aren't changing BIOS settings that affect clock speed your CPU speed
will always be the same as it ever was (except for CPUs that throttle down
in duty cycle when overheating.

Now you COULD check the CPU speed displayed by the BIOS start-up screen.

Or you COULD click on the 'System' icon in the 'Control Panel'.

Or you COULD download and install an applet like MotherBoardMonitor which
can be set to display temperatures and CPU speed in the tool bar just in
case the CPU speed changes unexpectedly. MBM can even be set to log the
parameters it reads so you can go back later and check for anomalies.

OP just wants to get it back, which I think is entirely fair enough, not to
mention intriguing as to why it disappeared in the first place. Unless, of
course, we're not talking about the SAME computer here - ie, one DID show
the speed, another one doesn't.

And your suggestion of Control Panel > System gives exactly the same info as
My Computer > right-click > Properties (as does the handier Win + Pause).

You're answering old threds, questions that were asked and answered long
ago. These threads are mostly now closed and it is unlikely that the
ones who asked the questions are still here looking for answers.
