AMD Ryzen 5 5600x Clock Speed Stuck On 0.52 Ghz

I am not a pc tech wiz but, can someone help and explain as to why my clock speed is stuck at 0.52 Ghz? I recently bought a new amd ryzen 5 5600x and installed it no problem. I was able to boot up windows just fine and noticed that the clock speed was stuck. I checked in amd ryzen master as well as hwinfo64 and the only way I was able to boost the cpu was to disable prochot in ryzen master. Temps are sittings between 32 degrees to 35 degrees celsius so I am not sure what is going on. If it helps, I did update the bios to the latest version before installing the new cpu. I also benchmarked my cpu using CPU-Z but clockspeed was just as low. ARM Cpu.PNGCpu speed task manager.PNGHWINFO64 CPU.PNGCPU Z amd ryzen 5 5600x benchmark.PNG

Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk

RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB

GPU: AMD Radeaon 6650 XT

This is what I have done so far:

  • Clean installed Windows

  • Updated all drivers offered by Windows update

  • Updated all drivers individually prior to using Windows update

  • Updated BIOS

  • Took apart hardware and cleaned any dust out

  • Reapplied thermal paste

  • Updated Chipset Drivers

  • Cleared CMOS

  • Flashedback between different Bios Versions to see if that would help

  • Switched between two different CPU coolers
