Not at all....I like to remind you again that it happens now and then; and in that case i have to fix that problem by doing hard boot, and i have to fix the CPU speed manually by entering the CMOS setup. Thanks!

You strongly recommend me to change the CMOS battery; but I have got an opinion before I change the cmos battery;if the CMOS battery is bad, most of the CMOS settings (like CPU speed, date & time etc) is going to be mess up, but in this case I didn’t have to change the date & time. Thanks for reply again!

"but the problem is that the pc lost its CPU speed now and then".
I took that statement to mean that you had to reset the values in the BIOS. If not, then the battery isn't the problem.
Try reseating all cards and cables with the computer unplugged. Take static precautions. Download and run CCleaner on a regular basis.
