Asus Rampage VI Extreme - i7-7800X running at 1.19 all the time.

Hello,
My i7-7800x processor runs at 1.19 GHz.
It should run at 3.5, but even under 100% load it still runs at 1.19 GHz.
My motherboard is an Asus Rampage VI Extreme, with 40 GB of 3200 MHz G.Skill DDR4.

GPU is Asus Strix RTX 3090.
I have not overclocked.
Even when I enable the XMR option and set the RAM to 3200 MHz (from 2133 default), the processor speed remains at 1.19 GHz.
The computer is very slow, even with a clean install of Windows 11.

1. I bought the motherboard and processor brand new from the store.
I haven't done any overclocking.
2. I tried all the BIOS versions. From the first to the last.
CMOS clear. Second BIOS - the same procedure.
3. I reinstalled the CPU.
4. I changed the PSU cables with brand new ones.
5. I tried all Windows 10 and Windows 11.
6. I haven't played games, I haven't mined. I only use the computer to watch movies and music.
7. I used this program ThrottleStop_9.7.2 to stop PROCHOT. (I couldn't find a way to do it without this program)
8. I tested everything on YouTube about processors.
The processor runs at 3.5GHz only in safe mode.

Is the motherboard showing the wrong information?
Speed: It's not even in GHz, it shows in MHz.
Isn't this the speed of the processor but something else?

I will attach images of what i see.

I hope someone help me out here.

Thanks in advanced.

Hello Gushy

As a test, try setting the windows power plan to High Performance.
