The speed of processor warning

[AleksandarNikolic]

Hi to all, I have proliant DL380 G6 server, he had no errors in event viewer on it untill I installed VMware Server 2.0. Now I have this error "The speed of processor 3 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 30 seconds since the last report" Error Event ID 7 Task Category 7. This error is appearing several times in variation with different processor , group or performance state in seconds.
Any Ideas ?? Thanks.
