For some reason my computer processor changes speed sometimes, when i check the system info and click general
from 2.2 Ghz to 1.77 Ghz to 984 Mhz and back, does anyone know how to make my comp stay at its highest speed?

Heck, 2.19 GHz too

assuming it is a desktop, i would say get a new, bigger heat sink
if your running the stock one, it may be too small, and therefore wont disperse enough heat, so the CPU slows itself down to reduce the heat output
check out tigerdirect.com or newegg.com
they have some pretty good deals
just dont forget the thermal paste, or you will fry the CPU
i think most heat sinks come with thermal paste, tho

Hi. Most laptops and notebooks will adjust processor speed depending on temperature. Make sure everything is as cool as practical.

Doing this will probably shorten its lifetime...but if you must...
look into whats called.....overclocking.
