Read the manual of your CPU and see if you need to set these jumpers on your motherboard. I know for AMD that it is required, so you might need to do it for Intel as well. Whenever i build a computer i usually boot it up like you have and then realise i haven't increased the jumper settings. 
So nothing is wrong with your CPU is this is the case, read your motherboard info on jumpers for info on how to do it.
the CPU didnt come with a manual, it was OEM, and im not 100% sure what make/model my mobo is. but i think its an intel one. but ill have a look. but im convinced its the locked multipliers
