View Full Version : PC-BSD showing wrong processor speed and system freezing

Hello!

I've just installed PC-BSD and everything is running great, except for my overclock. I have a sempron 64 3000+ overclocked from 1.8 Ghz to 2.5 Ghz. It's primed and completely stable. Same thing with my memories. I've been using this configuration for a long time without any problems.

Anyway, when I go to KInfoCenter, it shows that my current processor speed is 1793 Mhz. At Ubuntu, KInfoCenter shows 2500 Mhz. Cool and quiet and ACPI are disabled.

EDIT: dmesg shows 2500 Mhz.

Also, my PC-BSD installation is freezing for like a second, every minute. Everything (mouse cursor, web page loading and etc.) stops. I've been monitoring loads and this is related to this process:

root 13 0.0 0.0 0 8 ?? WL 1:33AM 0:15.00 [swi4: clock sio]

From time to time this process uses a fair amount of cpu and my system freezes at the same time.

Anyone knows how to fix those two problems? I have Arch, Ubuntu and XP running without those things so I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem.

Sorry for the broken english (I'm from Brazil) and thanks in advance.

Regards,

Gustavo

Does PCBSD have the same problems when not overclocked?

Yes. :(

The freezing problem was related to my onboard lan (nforce 4 motherboard). I'm using another ethernet card and the system is not freezing anymore.

It's not the ideal solution but I'm glad it worked. :D

Take a look:
