Why there's only 1 core displayed at Core Temp application?

[Universe]

I'm using window's 7 32 bit with core i5. It shows quad core on windows 8 [64 bit]. Then why only single core active in windows 7 32 bit? Is it because of the x86 architecture?

can you post a screenshot?

Because it says Processor 0 in a CPU with 4 processors on the 'Select CPU' line.

In processor temperature reading, there usually it shows all the core available in a processor like core # 0, core #1, core 2# & core 3# - these 4 cores [in a quad-core cpu]. But it is showing only the first or the only one!

that is really weird, it should show 4 cores 4 threads. Does your OS recognize , all the 4 cores?

idk, it's supposed to.. how to find that out?

From the device manager, under your computer, click on the processors it should list 4 processor names on it. it should look like it http://imgur.com/YgWGUdf

O yes of course... lol yes there are four processors

Just installed another temperature gadget, it also shows single core temp!

very weird, can you use a program like HWinfo to check your temps and see if it shows all your cores or not.

It only detects single core!!

Usually, on those apps like CoreTemp etc., there is an edit/options capability to show all 4 cores or just a single core.

In the HWinfo system summary, how many cores shows up? ( it is like this http://imgur.com/o21IvZV)

Try this to see if it solves your problem, Run-> msconfig-> click on boot tab-> click advanced options -> check to see if number of processors is ticked ( uncheck it if it is marked). Reboot the comp.

The 'Number of processors' is ticked; but there's only 1 [processor] in the drop down menu of processors!

just untick the box and reboot the comp, windows now will detect all cores.

It worked! Now I can see all the core temperatures Thank you very much. You are awesome 😉

And a Big THANKS to those who took their time trying to help in this thread
