i5 2400 CPU frequency and CPU load test failed?

What could be the problem? I also get message:Please check your Processor Thermal Solution. Should I install new thermal paste or better cooler? Thanks in advance

I would use a temperature monitoring program like HWiNFO to see what your processor temperature actually is. If they are excessive, I would go ahead and inspect the contact patch between the CPU and cooler, then reapply thermal paste. A better cooler is really only necessary if you are overclocking.

It was due to thermal paste, I also updated drivers and now it pass all tests. It does not overheat like before, max. temp. is now about 56 while gaming.
