Hey there,

Did you update the bios on your motherboard before installing the new CPU? List your full pc specs. What does CPU-z read when you run it?

i didnt update it & i dont hv no idea how! also wht do u mean with cpuz?

CPU-z is a program that allows you to read the data from the CPU to tell exactly which CPU it is. It's very straight forward.

It may be that your bios needed to be updated to take the new CPU. Knowing your motherboard model/make is essential for us to know if that's the case. Then we can work from there.

So abt the cpu-z it tells that my cpu hv 4 cores & 8 threads

Then it's likely you need to update your bios. If you provide you PC specs, we can help you with that.

Was 10400 an upgrade? If it was, what was previous cpu?

Again, what's your motherboard?

If cpu was upgraded, check number of processors in msconfig. See below link how to get there.

How to Set the Number of Processors on Your PC - dummies

Your PC most likely sports a processor that has multiple cores. Or, it may have more than a single processor. You should confirm that Windows is taking advantag

Link shows how to set number of processors. But if the box is already ticked (which im hoping is the case) untick it and reboot. Don't need to set these values as Windows automatically runs cpu and all cores by default. Unless cpu was upgraded from a lower core cpu, Windows may set number of processors itself.

A major platform change would warrant a reinstall. Different chipset/driver sets and registry entries, it would be a mess. Couldn't say if your problem is directly related but can have a very good guess that it is.
