I did a rebuild of a 2012 HP Z800 workstation.
It came with:
I put in:
OS- Windows 10 Home
It's a basic build to get the system up.
Issues:
Software sometimes isn't stable on the system. Several Apps have created problems that make Windows 10 slow to a crawl or even stop functioning.
Also I can't let the system go into sleep mode because when you wake it, it crashes, shuts itself down and can take a long time to get it up and running again. When powered back up it also runs at a crawl I only can seem to fix with multiple shut downs and reboots.
Also I have 8 cores in 2 sockets but when I look in Task Manager Performance it just shows 1 socket and 2 cores being accessed. And CPU use is often at 100%. I find stopping Windows Update helps a bit with that but I expected much lower CPU drain with this many cores.
I've checked on the HP site and they no longer support a system this old, so the drivers there end at Windows 8.
Is there any patches I can use to make my system more stable with Windows 10.
I have both CPUs turned on in msconfig, is there a way to make sure both sockets and all 8 cores are being utilized as well.
Kind of a complex question I know, thanks for any ideas.
