I don't know why the score is low for the CPU it was 4.2 a couple of days ago now it dropped down to 3.8 again.

I would download and install this program.> CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

Open it then take a Snip and post it here or start a thread in hardware.
This will provide us and you with a lot more info to see if the CPU is working properly.
Update your mo board drivers etc. would be benefial.

I would not update the motherboard Bios yet. It may be necessary but I would do it as a last resort.

The info from CPU-Z and then driver updates would be my first and second actions.

Post screenshots from the CPU, motherboard, memory amd SPD tabs. Also download and run As SSD and post a screenshot.Also, I think you should be running CCC 11.11 from AMD.

Here is the SSD Benchmark results.

You don't have Hyperthreading turned on.
Your drive is in IDE mode.
Your RAM speed is 10700.

There's probably more but that's what jumps out at me.

Check your BIOS and see if Hyperthreading and Turbo is turned on. Something is amiss. You might also have the Short/Long Duration Power settings set low.
Also, that M4 should score a 7.9 on SATA-III. I get 7.9 out of my C300.

I'm not sure how to get into them(bios) or where Hyperthreading and turbo boost is to be honest. I am not also sure what is short/long duration power is.

Yea, just checked. The i7-2500 doesn't have HT. Bummer!

His RAM is running at 1330.4 so that is correct.
Specs show run DDR3 1066/1333.

I'm curious, where do you see that? His RAM has a MAX of 10700 (667). It's showing a bus ratio of 1:5 as in 1x5.

Yeah, ok, it says 665.2 ????
