I have this Intel Core i5-2410M for my laptop. In task manager it has 4 thing in cpu indicating 4 cores and in device manager it has 4 cpu in it nut when I search online it says that it is a dual core processor so I need to know.
QX9650, quad core, task manager, cpu-z, cpu-id, shows showing only 2 two cores.I recently upgraded an Intel E8500 to a QX9650 and had the problem of Windows 7 only showing 2 of the 4 cores.It took a few frustrating hours to find the solution, but I got there in the end without the need for a Windows re-install.
1st: You must have Windows 7 Professional. Home Premium does not support more than 2 cores. Upgrade to Pro.
2nd: If Task manager and CPU-Z are only showing 2 cores, you'll be feeling pretty confused, right?
Go to Start-->Run, type MSCONFIG.Under the BOOT tab, click 'Advanced Options'.In the top left corner it says "Number of Processors" (you'll have been here already and it says '2').Uncheck this and do a reboot.This solved my hours of confusion. Now I have 4 cores in Task Manager, CPU-Z and all is well.If all this fails, then get yourself set up for an OS reinstall; that should get you where you want to be.
I'm not overly familiar with low-end hardware (look at my specs ). What was the difference between Intel's Core 2 Duo and their Pentium Dual core? They seemed like identical CPUs to me.
I'm having an issue with my CPU. It seems that it is only using one of its cores. This issue first became apparent to me when I was trying to run Blacklight Retribution. It popped up a warning message saying that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements of have at least a dual core. And indeed the game was unplayable, with single digit fps constantly. However when i go to the performance tab of my task manager it shows 4 graphs, meaning that 4 cores must be running. Then I go the boot tab of my systems configuration, click on advanced options and underneath the "Number of Processors:" check box (which is unchecked), it shows 1 as the number of processors. My processor is an Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz.
Does GTS 450 1gb DDR3 works well with DualCore Intel Pentium D 805, 2666 MHz (20 x 133) ?....I got 2 Gb RAM(800 MHz)...and my motherboard is XFX MG-63MI-7109 Motherboard ....
I've made a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate a few days ago and I started to encounter the following problem after 30-60 minutes. It usually happens when I'm running a computer game (any game), I experience a sudden fps drop, even though before that, on maximum quality the game was running perfectly, becomes unenjoyable, quit the game. The CPU meter gadget shows 100%, and even after I close everything, browser, windows explorer, the best I get at idle is 70-80% and if I try to open anything at all, it becomes stuck at 100% again.
So I open task manager and go processes, put them in a descending order of processor usage, and see that they nowhere near add up to 100%, even though at the bottom the task manager says CPU usage is at 100%. Physical memory is usually around 20-60%, no problems with that. If I go to Performance tab, and click on resource monitor, I experience the same thing: the actual usage is nowhere near 100%, I can't see any processes that would explain for the performance drop, in fact the highest demanding process is the resource monitor itself. The problem persists until I restart the computer, shutting down takes much longer now.
It's a HP Compaq 8510w laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Build 7600 Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.2 GHZ) Hewlett-Packard 30C5 (Intel PM965 (Cresline-PM) + ICH8M-E) 4GB memory nVidia Quadro FX 570M [HP] Intel 82801HB ICH8 - High Definition Audio [B1]
I've tried several suggestions: Disabling HDAC in Device Manager (High Definition Audio Controller) Disabling Audio Enhancements in Sound>Speaker Properties Installing the very newest drivers, including chipset drivers Running programs in XP compatibility mode Disabling the gadgets
I've no reason to think I've been infected by malicious software, I can't find any suspicious processes running.
Im new at overclocking, i wanna know how to overclock so that i don't screw up my computer D:
i feel as if this computer can go farther then its limit right now, so that's why im asking. I just bought this computer 1 year ago ( 2011 )
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120503-2030) Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
Basically, I do a lot of video converting since I'm always sending movies/tv shows to devices like PS3, Playbook, Xbox and some other stuff. Most of the converters I've found support only single core CPU's and take an hour or so to convert, I was wondering if there are any conversion tools that support more than one core and would be much faster than standard converters?
I recently updated my mobo's bios and with the update I now see this "press F4 to use ACC". I have an AMD Phenom II X4 940 BE CPU. Is there any benefit to using this new function that ASUS is offering with my quad core.
im running a 2.5ghz intel quad core q9300 with a gigabyte g41m-combo mobo, Is there anything i can do to over clock it. Not after loads of gain as i want to keep it as stable as poss but some gain will be great if i can.
I have the 32 bit Windows 7 on my computer because it seems to work better than the 64 bit. However like any computer geek I want the 64 bit and with a removable Hard Drive I can put the 64 bit on the other Hard Drive. Once I get tired of my 32 bit I'm sure I'll build the 64 bit but once I do this I don't think Microsoft is going to like it if I plug in my 32 bit once I register the 64 bit? What do you think?
Now I want to build a new computer but what good is the quad? Does any software run on it using all 4 CPU's?
So I'm on my computer playing a game and I have a CPU usage gadget by Keat and the gadget is telling me, my Core 2 is at 82% while Core one is at 25%. aren't they supposed to carry the load equally, Or is that normal? When I have something else up besides the game I'm playing (MineCraft online) it evens out more.
My system specs are Windows vista (but updated to Windows 7 Home premium and completely updated) Pentium dual core cpu t4200 4.00 gb Ram. 64 bit
I am working currently in 2d/3d animation field. I need a faster processor. I need to know the comparison between core i3 and dual core processors regarding configuration, customization, speed and performance.
I have a pc that came with XP but is now running windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit. (SP1 with all updates)
Ever since i upgraded windows has only seen one core even though its a dual core system. The processor is a AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ 2.20Ghz.
I have checked the BIOS and cant find any related settings and when i go to msconfig in the boot menu (advance) Number of processors is unchecked by default and if i check it the drop down only shows one core. The device manager is not showing any driver issues.
When I render with C4D, is it normal for my cpu to go up to 100% usage? I'm worried cause my fan is kind of making noise that it doesnt usually do.I HAVE THE G75VW-BBK5?
I did some checks and my processor couldn't run XPmode. (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13ghz) So I installed it in Virtualbox along with the guest additions. Works Great!
