Just checked and the multiplier for you're chip is way low.
It should be at 12.5 as stock and you have it at 8.
2 possible things. Either go into the bios and manually change the mulitplier back to 12.5 and disable speedstep or update the bios as it may not be recognising it properly.

I've had a look for speedstep but couldn't find it unless its called something else.
I found the multiplier but it said i cant change it above 8 unless speedstep was off - although i can change the FSB.
Motherboard;
MSI MS-7519 P43 Neo

It may also be called EIST or C1E.
Strange how you're bios locks the mulitplier down to 8 even though stock it's 12.5.
It could as simple as disabling speedstep (or one of the two above) or possibly a bios update from MSI.
If you need to update the bios, either use LiveUpdate that comes with the CD or download the newer version off the net here.
Alternatively, if you know how to flash you're bios manually, the file can be found here.
Edit: I got a copy of you're motherboard manual and what you are looking for is Intel EIST. Disable that and also disable D.O.T Control, boot into windows and see what mulitplier it gives you then.

Yes but BIOS updates do come with it's risk.
Manual updates via a flash drive or floppy give the safest result as updating in windows doesn't come without it's problems sometimes, especially if windows crashes whilst updating.
However, I have updated many times via windows and had no problems so it's you're call whether to use the MSI Update or manually do it yourself.

I just went ahead and used your link, did loads of downloading - 4 restarts.
Then i could log into windows 7 only XP
Bit of a nightmare but i seem to be there now -
Ran othos for 2 hours no errors and its giving me 2.5GHz! Your a genius
Unsure what version ect im on in bios as im all over the place but i'll check,
Picture;
Temps are 50's when i stopped it they went to 40's
Any good? - Stock speed's
Oh, if i ever get a new hdd with i have to upgrade the bios again for the new Harddrive and new OS?
Thanks.
Be back soon.

Well done and glad to be of help
You will not have to flash the bios again unless you buy hardware that is introduced later and MSI release an update in order for the hardware to run on the motherboard. You should be fine with the release you updated with.
Good temps under load and plenty of headroom for overclocking if you wanted to but I would get an aftermarket cooler first if you plan on pushing the E5200 any higher.
Looking at you're temps, I would keep with the one's in coretemp as I believe the Tjmax for the E5200 is 100c and realtemp has it set at 95c and coretemp has it set at 100c.
You can set the Tjmax in realtemp to the correct value of 100c if you wanted to in settings.
