If the multi is changing from 9 to 6 and back, that is actually C1E....
You could use "RightMark CPU clock utility" to check if C1E (or EIST for that matter) is actually on. The program can also be used to turn it off at windows start up as a kind of workaround, that's what I use on my BA1 since there is no option for C1E in bios.....with c1e off, the multi stays steady.
