MHz different in CPUZ to Windows

Hey all,
Having a funny issue with my laptop -> I’ve got two screenshots:

As you can see the MHz in CPUZ differs from those in the system properties. When the computer is in “Max Battery” mode the processing speed always used to drop to 790ish MHz, this would show in CPUZ and in the Windows system properties. And when it was in “Always On” profile the MHz would go to 1860ish (again this would match both on system properties and CPUZ).
Usually I’d just pass this off as windows being stupid, but when I noticed this thingy something happened that’d never happened before – I was browsing the internet and playing music (which I’ve done many times before) and then the music started jamming and skipping (like a scratched CD) and the web browser became unresponsive; nothing would happen so I just had to leave it, a few seconds later all unjammed, the music carried on, and all the commands I’d given it suddenly happened and it carried on as normal.
As I said its never done this before; do you guys have any opinions as to what it could be? Luckily HPs after sale support is good so if its something major I can send it for repair.
Thanks
