I use a ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. I upgraded to a dual core some months ago with a AMD Athlon x2 4200+ OEM
I checked some of my settings recently... and I'm only using one core of the processor.
CPU-Z shows I have an AMD Athlon X2 4200+, but it only shows a single core and thread for the processor.
Windows Task Manager only shows one graph instead of 2. But Windows Device Manager shows I have 2 Processors.
Here's a screenshot of my Task Manager: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1531/amddualcoreproblemmk6.jpg
I've been told on AMD"s forums that I have to reinstall/repair windows...but I'm afraid that if I do I'll lose all my stuff
Before anyone suggests I use AMD's Dual Core Optimizer, well I have tried. It wont' open , it'll install. Just won't run or open at all.
Any help would be greatly apperciated. And if anyone needs extra information. I will gladly provide it.
