CPU/Mobo Pentium D?

[saintsinner]

Hello,

i just noticed this today -

Pentium D has two cores, right?

then the whytf is this showing only one core?

here the mobo details if it helps..

Help!!!

 

[lomac_29]

right click and select ur core

 

[lomac_29]

cant u see there is written core#0 in brackets beside clocks...its showingthe clock speed of the first core...right click and select core#1...ur second core

 

[saintsinner]

uhhh...
just one core -

 

[greenhorn]

what's your mobo? maybe it doesnt have dual core support :huh:

 

[saintsinner]

Jetway, 945 chipset.

but during boot ot says 2 CPU's

some issue with XP?

 

[lomac_29]

umm the chipset aint a prob..they have supp for as low as the ht`s and the c2d 65nms...

do one thing..hit ctrl alt del...go to performance ..see if there are 2 charts for cpu usage history

 

[saintsinner]

nope just one chart.
even the device manager does not list the proccy -

 

[lomac_29]

umm before i suggest a xp is screwed , go to ur bios and check if there exists any option to disable ur second core...saw one option like dat on a frnds intel 945gcnl...

 

[saintsinner]

ok will do that.. but does this have anything to do with ACPI??...

 

[lomac_29]

if ur os is screwed the acpi may be a prob..

 

[saintsinner]

ok, no such option in the bios.
ACPI is enabled in the bios.

how do i tell if my os is screwed up?

 

[lomac_29]

hehe it aint listing a procc....isnt that a reason for concern....see acpi provides interfaces for hardware recognition, motherboard and device configuration and power management..its gives os the control ..the bios acts like its b**ch and helps os to do all the stuff...so i`ll advise u get a new installation of windows...

After selecting second core.

 

[Rahul++]

Run >> Msconfig >> BOOT.INI >> Advanced Options >> /NUMPROC = 2

 

[saintsinner]

there only 1!! no 2...

 

[Photographer]

check in ur bios it single core mode is enabled or no

 

[Rahul++]

yea.. Checkout in Bios.. I had same problem before..

Make sure that, Single Core Mode is Disabled!

 

[saintsinner]

there is no such mode i could find.
moreover..during bootup, the bios does mention 2 CPU's

 

[techie_007]

check ur BIOS again then most of them have an option to disable one of teh cores......

Else, just try resetting the BIOS to defaults..........may help......
