CPU locked at 0.5 GHz

Hi, my newly built PC runs extremely sluggish. Both in Win11 and when booting from a linux usb the cpu clockspeed seems to be locked at roughly 0.5 GHz. Even the BIOS is quite laggy.

It's a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the mainboard is an MSI PRO B850-S WIFI6E.

I did update the BIOS and used the clear CMOS button to reset everything to factory defaults, but the problem persists.

Any idea, what could be causing this and how to fix it?

See the attached images for screenshots from CPU-Z, MSI control center and the bios.

iSOA (in search of advice)

So last night my fiancé was playing eft last night, it started popping up msi screen with “Preparing automatic repair” on it and then a black screen that says “Your device ran into a problem, and needs to restart. We’ll restart it for you” and then goes to a black screen of death. We reinstalled windows today it worked for about 10-15 minutes then started doing the same exact thing, i unplugged his 2 ssd’s and left m.2 in (it has windows on it).
We can get into bios and all that goody good stuff but it just keeps doing the black screen of death no matter what we try to do.
Side note we also took the cpu out and put fresh thermal paste on it, we didnt know if it could have possibly had something to do with it.
