I noticed yesterday on my 64 bit WIN7 desktop gadgets monitoring the CPU, cores and memory that the system only saw 2GB of usable RAM. Everything else was fine, all 12 cores online. For the whole week since my rebuilt I have been playing Battlefield2 brillantly. So I rebooted and my 6GB RAM was back but then I noticed only half my cores? THen I shut down and unplugged for a minute and reboote. I noticed that my POST was gone, it just booted right into WIN7, blazingly fast but the problem I have now is that I am working on one core. No hyperthread nothing. I have reset my BIOS and rebooted several times, my CPU is running at a cool 25 Degrees and all the apps run just fine. So in conclusion when I boot I see the ROG screen flash for a split second then its the WIN7 logo and then my desktop, no more POST? What would happen if I hit the CMOS clear button in the back? I am sure my CPU is fine otherwise it would not work at all?
Oh yes one more thing, I did have an initial problem with the rear panel USB ports and did a work around by buyig a USB ISA card and used that instead, is it my MOBO? Is there anything else I can do to check things or reset?
thanks
