CPU Gone bad?

Problem:

When I start my PC, I notice that my CPU is clocking at 0.8 Ghz. Any actions on the PC are almost impossible to perform. It does clock up to 4 Ghz after a while, but if you just open the browser, the CPU drops down to 2.5 - 3 Ghz and finally 1 Ghz. I tried a lot of things, such as tweaking the BIOS, but the automatic settings were still the best. I have replaced the thermal paste and have also turned up my water cooling to full. My CPU has an idle temp of 60-65 degrees despite this and with light use it jumps right up to 70-75 degrees. Only when I start a more demanding game like my fully modded GTA does the CPU start clocking at 3-3.5.

 

Is it possible that Windows was just installed incorrectly and that is the reason for all these problems?
