Hi all,
At some point yesterday, my computer began to fail to recognise the other three cores on my Q6600 computer. It is a self-built system that's worked perfectly for about three months now, and this error occured during a period of normal usage. I've checked the BIOS, but there doesn't seem to be any clear way of knowing whether it recognises all the cores on the CPU. Task Manager, CPU-Z and SpeedFan all see only one core. I've repaired the installation using the Windows XP disc, and flashed the BIOS to the latest version, both to no avail. Virus scans by avast, and malware scans by Ad-aware both show nothing.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P31-S3G with latest BIOS
CPU: Q6600, E0-stepping
To any who can help, thanks.
