One question about Multi-Core and Mulit-Processor machines. It is the duty of the operating system to make use of all the cores and CPUs? or it is the duty of the running application? And which one should optimize this task?
Quad Core: When I install XP I try to hear music but sometimes the music freeze for about 0,5s and after that it continue. with video its the same. I don't know why, so I try it with Triple Core... No change same like before but when i try it with Dual-Core it was OK. I install all drivers. I try old drivers, new drivers, beta drivers, new bios etc... bud i think it is in CPU, because on Dual-Core it was fine... Please tell me solution. I don't have any idea to correct this problem. TY.
I've heard that dual core can handle two threads at the same time, but has less Mhz than single core. Anybody could tell me if it is a good choice to buy a dual core processor if there aren't enough applications with more than one thread?
Recently I reinstalled the OS on my computer. It was shipped with Windows XP HE SP2, but I formatted and put Win98 onto the system. Needless to say, it froze up at the Windows splash screen. So, I uninstalled it and put XP back on. My question here is, is there any possible way to put Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows XP all on one hard drive, and it work? I know how to partition the hard drive accordingly for the deed, it's getting the computer to actually run 95, 98, and 3.1. I'm cheating fate here, since I know 3.1 probably won't run on my 32-bit structure system, but it's worth a try. My system is a Dell Dimension 4700 with 3.0 gHz CPU, 256 mb of RAM, and an nVidia 64 mb video card.
My quad-core processor is only running 1 core. I have scrawled the web for fixed and such, but I'm having no luck . Here are some images from my device manager, and CPU-Z for proof, and the problem.As you can see, my device manager doesn't even show any processors, and only shows my computer as a Standard PC. And on the CPU-Z, at the bottom, it only shows that i'm running 1 core! (Also the same on task manager) All chipset drivers etc were installed.I've tried a few things, optimizing my bios and such, but im abit of a novice when it comes to the bios.
what is the best upgrade (processor,video card, memory) for my laptop having a ddr2 motherboard, core 2 duo processor, ati radeon hd 3450 video card and 4 gb Ram?
I'm new around computers and do not know a lot can someone tell me the difference between core duo and core 2 duo. What is so different about core 2 duo?
My computer runs on WinXP Pro. Lately, it has started showing some trouble in processing speed. If more than one Internet Explorer windows are opened, or if applications like ADOBE Photoshop are used, the system slows down to almost a standstill. Even using the Windows Task Manager to shut down certain processes doesn't help. I've run virus scans and spyware scans and the problem still persists.
I have a Windows XP Media Center 2005. I have been getting the dialogue box listed below when I try to record a program from MY TV on Media Center:Windows - No Disk Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c.Below the message, there are 3 buttons to choose from -> Cancel, Try Again and continue. When I click on any of these buttons another one pops-up with the same message. The only way to get rid of these is by exiting Media Center.
Anybody have any ideas off the top of their head as to the reasoning behind this error message? My D: drive is a cd/rw drive, not a hard drive..COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was C0000005 from line 44 of d:qxp_slpcomcom1xsrceventsier1eventsystemobj.cpp.
i was previously ripping a lot of music from cd's onto my Sony Vaio, spent about six hours doing it. i shut off my comp that night and turned it on the next day, only to find that it would sit at the xp loading screen for 4 minutes until getting to the login page. along with that, i have random processor spikes and my comp is slowed down. all media, music or vids are lagged and have a digital static to them. i have defraged, and run anti-virus/ spyware programs trying to see if i have encountered a software issue, because that is what it sounds like w/ the processor spikes. i can't figure out what i have done and i'm wondering if anyone can head me in the right direction before i go ahead and reformat
No real drama today. On Boot up I get a warning message.... Windows - No Disk Exception Processing Message c0000013 Paremeters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c If I just hit cancel or continue button, all seems to be working OK. Tried a restore to last known good restore point... made no difference. Should I just do a restore using Windows Disc or is there possibly something more sinister going on here?
I'm running Win XP Home - SP1 (all updates). When I shut down or reboot, the system hangs up for a long time. I sometimes have to attempt to shut it down a second time via Start/Turn Off Computer/Restart (or Shut Down). When I do Control/Alt/Delete to try to get the Task Manager it takes a long time to pop up. What do I need to do to find out what's hanging things up?

I am getting extremely annoyed with the message that keeps popping up every thirty seconds (see attachment). I don't know why it's searching for some removable media (I think) when my thumb drive is still inserted. I have been having similar problems since the stupid Geek Squad told me I needed a new hard drive and then named it the "H" drive for some reason; now from time-to-time when I try to run programs which (I think) used to be based off my C drive I'll get one of these or a C+++ runtime error window.How can I make this stop? I'm running Windows XP SP3. on an HP desktop. All help is appreciated, as this is a highly annoying problem right now.
When I access MSN MONEY I receive error message WINDOWS - NO DISK exception processing message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c I can cancel the error but it continually reappears as I search other pages. If I exit Internet Explorer and open it again and avoid MSN MONEY the error message does not appear.
I noticed that my CPU Usage History under the performance tab on my task manager shows only 1 graph. I am sure that there should be 2 graphs there since I have a E6600 Intel Core 2 Duo processor and I can still remember that when I installed my Windows Xp for the 1st time, I have 2 set of graphs for each core of my Core 2 Duo. I feel that there's something wrong... Is my active core only 1 instead of 2? Is there something wrong with my Hardware? My OS? how can I resolve this? right now Im running windows Xp SP 3,.
How many of you here use multi languages on the PC? I am having a BIG PROBLEM with the Language Tool Bar. I've been using English an Japanese on my PC and this never happened.I used the Microsoft Office 2003 Language Setting to "add" Japanese and it's been running fine. But today, all the sudden, the Language Tool Bar disappeared. Language Tool Bar = The bar appears automatically on the screen when you are using multi languages on the PC.If the Language Tool Bar is in inactive, it's restored on the Left-Bottom of the screen. Eng for English, Jp for Japanese. So I tried removing the settings and re-added, re-started, nothing happened. Also I tried Control Panel, Regions and Language Setting, added Japanese (it was already added), nothing happens.In fact, if I see the current settings, there are English and Japanese there! I tried Spybot and Ad-aware to see if any problem. Then re-started, result, same. Updated IE to 7.0, result, same.I didn't change any settings today, no new downloads or installations before this problem occurred.
I am looking to buy a core i3 processor but i've heard that it does not support windows xp. Now i've searched the internet only to get more confused. Some say it works fine while others say it does work but pretty slow. The problem is i can live without i3 but not xp as i work on Oracle that doesn't support windows 7 or vista.
I just finally went from core temp 0.94 to 0.95 and I seem to have found a nasty little bug in 0.95. I keep getting BSOD when I start 0.95. Thats kinda messed up to me as 0.94 worked like a charm. I have played with it a little and I know it isn't my system.I keep getting error code c000021a.
I recently built my new dual core PC and I have set up my bios, etc. I'm ready to install an OS. What I'm wondering is - what is better for a dual core pc? XP Pro or XP Home and why?
All of a sudden my WinXP Pro is highlighting multi files to be opened. If if click lower on the screen all files above are highlighted. How do I stop this from happening?
I have to do a complete wipe and reinstallation of XP. It runs slow,reasons unknown. Anyway, on the old system, we had 2 users, both with administrative privileges. I need to know whether multiple users will cause the performance to drop in a major way. I understand the answer is yes IF both users remain active with programs running. But, we close our programs and log off completely when we switch users. Will multiple users on a system bog it down if only one user has programs running and the other user is logged off?
I have had some XP problems, which have involved me installing several versions of XP.(all of them are gone now except the one Im using.)The problem is, When I start my computer, It gives me the option to start in all 3. (only 1 of which works)I thought the file to edit to get rid of this was boot.ini, but I cant find it anywhere. I have searched my whole computer
my system (2.8GHz Pentium D Dual Core, 1 GB RAM, Dell XPS 400) just started getting stuck at 100% CPU load at all times. Also, task manager only shows one CPU graph instead of the usual split screen graphs shown since its a dual core system. This occured on a restart after I re-located the machine to another house. I thought maybe something was physically messed up since it had been moved but the problem doesn't seem to occur when I boot to Safe Mode. So, that makes me think its a software issue.
I have a dp45sg motherboard, intel 7500 core 2 duo prossesor......once i entered the bios settings.there i noticed that the 'core multiplexing' option ws disabled.......will i eneble it or leave it unchanged.
I didn't even think of it when I ordered my new system. I currently have the same copy of windows xp home I've had all along. Do I need to get 64 bit XP professional for my Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor to work? I'd hate to have to have to buy a retail copy
