:confused: Hey you guys what's up,
I'm having a weird problem again I was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening,
In my device manager under "Processors" it shows two Intel Pentium 2.8ghz processors .. I was wondering why it is showing 2 I do only have 1 processor.. my other computer has been acting up shutting down on memory tests and it is showing 2 processors I was wondering if this could have an involvement with one another... I need some advice :confused:
 
Like lithium726 said.
It's a good thing.
Shows that you have hyper threading-enabled.
As far as shutdowns during mem test, are you overclocked too much/
Heat? etc.
 
Like lithium said, your computers are showing two CPUs because they have Hyperthreading. One is the real CPU and the other is logical.

It's like creating multiple partitions on a hard drive. There is really only one hard drive but you can make it look like more than one to the system. Hyperthreading significantly improves a system's multitasking capabilities.

Your hyperthreading CPU should have nothing to do with your memory problems. I would suggest taking the memory out of the working machine, and putting it in your other one (providing it's compatible of course) and then running your memory test again. If it work, you've got bad memory.

Click to expand...

or you can loosen the settings, and downclock the ram a little bit. if its not running at spec'd speeds(without errors), its defective. if its not running at overclocked speeds.. well.. dont go so high :p
