I'm attempting to disabled Hyperthreading, but that option isn't in the BIOS. Two guides on disabling the "logical" cores require me to boot up "START" command, but what is that and how do I access it?Disable Hyperthreading in the Windows 7 registry - Super User

Also, I want to set Team Fortress 2 to not use the HT cores, but the .exe file is non-existent and its files are apparently booted by Steam. I wanted to test if Team Fortress 2 and SimCity 4 (resource hogging singe-core) would improve with HT disabled. I also have an i7 720qm 1.6 GHz, which is the slowest i7 quad-core CPU.I tried to disable four "logical" cores through msconfig, but it also turned off two physical cores as well. I'd rather prefer quad core than dual core with HT.
I have a severe virtual problem. Going on in my home and I would like to turn the hyperthreading off in my laptop one is Hp and the other dell. I also have a hp desktop pc with amd... The other 2 have intel...all came with window 7 ....but for the life of me I can't access my hard drive. When I save somehing it saves. It in the ram...how screwed up and my browsers are horrible. The only way I have been able to halfway install a router is thru my screwed up browsers. None of my window 7 pcs seem to know how to configure a router.. I have a new hard drive for Hp desktop. I really hate to install it then I am stuck only accessing the virtual part. I recently installed a new hard drive in my laptop then it went all to hell after I installed seatools. Now I find out the hard drive I bought doesn't need utilities that it automatically installs it self. Too late now . I can't boot or install Windows. Not even linux will install.
I can't afford too lose another $100 on another hard drive. So it is possible to turn off the hyperthreading in the bios ...I just need to know how. I don't play games or watch tv on my pc so I really just need it to be able to email,internet, and music, a printer would be so nice. Its been so long since I have been able to use one. I hook up a printer but everytime samething always happens my pc. States the printer isn't mine and I can't use it. I will settle for the email,music and surfing the net.
[code] I was leaning towards the i7 because it seems to be the fastest processor for around $300.But apparently these new intel chips have sandy bridge which is a form of hyper threading.I'm just trying to figure out if I truly need the processor with hyper threading. I understand it basically turns the 4 cores into 8 virtual cores, but does it apply this speed to all computer programs and functions?I run 3 monitors and constantly doing multiple things including web design, graphic design etc.I also plan on maxing my ram at the 32gb the MOBO will allow to help this system run as fast as possible.
I've done a mild overclock on my i5 2500k processor. I simply changed the multiplier to x44.Should I disable turbo boost in my bios? And, or, maybe think of anything else?
i was having frequent bsod..in that i saw a suggestion to disable thes..so how to disable bios memory options like caching and shadowing..i am having dell studio 1558 laptop with 04dknr motherboard
Thinking of going with a push-pull set up for CM 212 Evo using the stock fan on one side. What's a good (preferably quiet) fan for the opposite side (pull)
Needs to be 120mm btw, the CM 212 Evo comes with mounting brackets to attach the fans either side.
Because Hyper-V has gained a lot of publicity lately and because I truly love the server virtualization products...i picked up a book on Hyper-V and have been reading through it and testing Hyper-V on a box under my desk.
Very first thing that caused massive grief: Trying to remotely administer Hyper V from a workstation on a Windows domain while the Hyper V server is on a workgroup is a real challenge. It took nearly an entire day to get this working and that was after using the HVRemote shortcut tool on the MSDN blogs. Now that I know how to do this, it only takes a few minutes but it sure is complicated for somebody doing it for the first time.
Next, my company does quite a lot with Linux virtual machines. From what I have seen, the only supported HyperV Linux guest OS's are SuSE and RHEL (only using emulated drivers). Of course, the emulated drivers don't provide the performance of their synthetic counterparts.
In addition, it seems that Linux guests are relegated to no smp support. So, it's 1 CPU only for any linux guest no integration services are supported, such as remote system shutdown and Time Synchronization or Heartbeat So, in closing, it's really hard to take this Hyper-V product seriously in the enterprise market with such limited support for any OS that isn't Windows. Looks like we will be sticking with VMWare ESX and ESXi for the forseeable future.
This posts here in the vmware blogs pretty much corroborates my feelings:

I have been doing autocadd and here lately my computer has been shuting off and rebooting then having a hyper transport sync flood error occurred on last boot come up i know nothing about computers so i have no idea what that means any advise were to start
I have WinRAR and have extracted Windows XP Professional ISO file which I downloaded from school's MSDNAA's web site.
But I can't seem to locate one. Is there a way to obtain Windows XP equivalent (not 3rd party applications) of Hyper Terminal to use it for Windows 7 Ultimate x64?
i only have this happen while in on secondlife that my pc . just kicks me down to a reboot up and then this comes up , hyper transportsync flood error and blaa blaa press f1 to continue , how or what do i do?
I've got an Acer Model As5742 Laptop with an i5 480M processor and 8 GB of good Ram. I'm running Win 7 Pro 64 Bit. It's only about 5 months old and this started about a month ago. I have no other problems. IE: Blue Screens or Lockups or anything, just the Bios clock changes to a random date and time after every restart. I replaced the Bios battery twice and it only effects the chore of having to reset the time in Windows every time I boot.
I'm going to send it to Acer to be repaired within a week or two, but maybe it's not a bad timing mechanism in the motherboard and one of you people have a correct solution to it. Which will save me the trouble of sending it in for a motherboard replacement.
I do have all the drivers and bios updates installed. Oh yes I've ran about 15 different virus Etc. Malware scans with several different products and they all come back clean. I ran System File Checker SFC /scannow from the command prompt several times that also comes back OK.
I have a five-month old HP Compaq Presario Laptop, which has been working fairly decently (I've had a few virus scares, and my Norton quarrentined something a twenty days ago). On HP's advice, I just updated the BIOS on my laptop. It's currently stuck at Verifying New Bios Image, and it's at 100% - It's been stuck that way for a half-hour plus.
My Samsung series 3 laptop has been sending out popup messages telling me I need a bios update, I go to the Samsung software update site and this bios update has been failing, I have made several calls and chats to techs at Samsung who tell me to do what I have already done, they tell to ask for tier 2 tech, who can go in my computer and fix it , When I finally got a tier 2 tech, they told me the same thing, I told him what I had been told about him and what he could do, He said, is it working , I said yes, but settings on computer change on their own,like wifi turns itself on and that concerns me. Anyway, He said that it didn't need a bios update,even the Samsung website said this computer needed a bios update. I posted this on hardware,firmware concerns, and they told me to post here, I was going to go to a site ,that had a download that checked drivers,
IE9 AND 8 has been causing problems on my PC with regards to Adobe Flash player.So I now use Chrome and have no problems with flash player, but when I try to view records in family tree maker software it try's to open widows with IE not Chrome, although Chrome is set as default.It then asks to install flash player again. So I wondered if it is possible to disable IE.
I have Windows Virtual PC running Windows XP in windowed (not full-screen) mode.
One of the custom applications that I run in the Virtual PC makes heavy use of F1 key, however every time I press it, in addition to that program's functionality "Windows Virtual PC" help comes up as well!
Is there any way to disable the help or make it so that F1 pressed inside virtual PC does not call it ?
I have a Dell laptop model 1720. I have tried every suggestion made by numerous posts to google but I'm unable to disable my touch pad. Nothing seems to work. Dell had told me the only way to do this would be to return to factory settings. I originally purchased my computer with Vista and recently upgraded to Windows 7. With Vista, disabling the touchpad only required entering a check in a box. Now that I have Windows 7 the options are different. 'Touch Pad Pal' doesn't work at all.
I recently just upgraded my MBP with an OCZ Agility 3. Nice little SSD with some nice speeds. At the same time, I also upgraded my RAM to 2xDDR3 4GB chips. The thing's quite the beast for a little MBP.Anyway, I've been hearing that you have to disable indexing whenever your running Windows on an SSD. Is this true? Something about how the SSD's speeds are so fast that you can do without it. I have not a clue and that's why I'm moving the the SF community.
I'm on an Asus laptop Windows 7 64bit and the shortcuts on the "f" keys like brightness, volume, and other little things require me to press fn+f10 for example to mute.Is there a way so I dont have to press the "fn" key to use the "f" key shortcutLike on Macs?I am not the most tech savvy so if there is a simple tutorial or instructions tha
I know its probably the most asked Windows question there is, but has any one found a way to disable tooltips entirely? I've done the easily found registry edit ShowTipInfo for Explorer - doesnt change anything for me, ANYWHERE. I still get tooltips in IE.They're driving me nuts and are now appearing in the weirdest locations sometimes - namely the TOP of my screen. - for no apparent reason, I certainly didnt (knowingly) change anything.
Right, Im up and running with windows 7 64 bit and it is the best day of my life! But on the icon tray on the bottom right there is like a little flag like icon in which when i click it, it shows me problems, The problem consists of the away mode system and when I click the link it brings up this...Address a problem with Away Mode SystemThis problem was caused by a compatibility issue between your computer's Away Mode System and your 64-bit version of Windows. The Away Mode System is only compatible with 32-bit versions of Windows. This problem is not critical, but you can prevent it from occurring again by disabling the Away Mode System in your computer's BIOS. Refer to the instructions that came with your computer that explain how to access the BIOS and turn off Away Mode System support.
