Only be recognized as a core of CPU dual core

OK, so, basically, it all started when I got to Mass Effect 2, installed and tried to play.  It froze on the screen to load several times if long story short, this is a problem, as the game was with a cpu core.  I have a dual core (Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E8400 @3.00 GHz).  After a few tweaks in run-> msconfig-> boot-> advanced options, I realized that it only recognizes the base.  I rebooted with detect HAL checked and it has not helped.  I used a program called CPU - Z to look at my system specs and it detects only a kernel.  Essentially, if my CPU is fried, is there a problem with my bios, or is there a problem with vista?

Hello

The problem could be the motherboard, power supply (rare), chipsets and other hardware
problems in addition to the processor itself. A real computer store can use other diagnostics and swap
parts and out to find and solve the problem. If you just bought a new processor, you might get lucky
or it could be worse, and what problem you have also destroyed another.

If the machine is worth fixing, then I would do it properly. Otherwise buy a new computer and recovery
what you can of the former. A motherboard if possible UPGRADE and a PROCESSOR UPGRADE
can be a smart move depending on the age of the system and the State.

Smart money is on a computer store, although sometimes they are simple corrections like a rider
However, you cannot really expect that.

We hope you sort.

  • One processor is working on a CPU dual core.

    I installed a new pair of bars of memory a few days I've been troubled havining of memory. Everything seemed fine for 2-3 days and then the laptop started running very slowly. I thought I'd launched a test of memory in Windows 7, is it on 2 pass test, so I started it again. Then the laptop is dead and when I rebooted (I noticed it was hot, so I left it 10 minutes) he said that he had closed the temp was at 90 C.

    I had already tried to vacuum clean dust as I could, unfortunately, the processor and the fan is not accessible, so I ordered the compressed air and a computer laptop cooling tray.

    Then I discovered that I have only 1 core of a double cpu work. Setting up operational Mamager didn't show a graph (should be one for each carrot?). I looked in Device Manager and saw the two entrances to mobile M620 AMD Turion 11 Ultra Dual Core processor. I then looked in msconfig \boot\advanced and which shows that I have cpu even using the drop-down list. So what explains the slow system.

    Is it possible to get windows to see the two hearts, and if so, how can I do? I found a thread that says to d/l Easy BCD, but I couldn't see the option "Limit Windows to '0' (leave 0 to reset). Another person removed from the processor in Device Manager, but I don't know if it's OK to do so.

    Having just reinstalled windows because of a corrupted registry is depressed me! I am considering buying a new laptop (on here 4 years), but this means that Windows 8!
    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    Everything has been fine since I was two hearts to work. I bought a laptop cooling tray and the temp got above 66 with a heavy workload.

    so everything is good right now.

  • Profile of Thunderbird is only partially recognized

    I have Thunderbird + Lightning in use on the operating systems Linux Mint and of Debian. Installation of Thunderbird Mint is used only for about six months after I switched to Debian as the main operating system. Debian installation encountered problems (unrelated to Thunderbird), and I had to return to mints. However, I was able to correctly migrate the profile.

    Thunderbird shows the supplements and the basis of positioning preferences page, so that the profile is recognized. However, the user data (email accounts (and their mail), address books and calendar data), are all absent. The opening of Thunderbird, it starts asking me to create an e-mail account.

    The version on Debian is 24.3.0. I believe that Thunderbird has been updated once or several times on Mint during the inactive period. His version is currently 31.3.0. FYI, all the add-ins were originally on the version of mint before the update to V31.3.0.

    I made many attempts, following the standard instructions, replace the content of the profile with the old content (I used the procedure successfully to migrate from Windows to Debian Mint). These included attempts using the old existing profile and a previous backup copy. I even uninstalled Thunderbird, deleted the directory .thunderbird and started on (several times), re-installation of the repo of Mint.

    I don't think to check Mint profile always worked before attempting replacement. However, after the failure, I rebooted the old profile of mint, and it does not work either. Since Thunderbird has been completely reinstalled, there is probably not a problem with corruption of software, and since several profiles previously failed, it seems unlikely that all profiles are bad. It almost looks like some incompatibility between Thunderbird V31.3.0 and profiles from previous version, but I didn't know all the present reports.

    I've attached a screenshot of the error console. At least the first entry appears to refer only to a problem with the themes, and not with the content. Also, according to online information, I found this contained panacea.dat of the references to the old name of profile. Take this file off service has not solved the problem.

    I will close the loop on this issue after discovering my own answer. The reason why the user data has not been recognised, it is that he wasn't there.

    I was using a backup procedure that has checked the base directory, which includes the profile. To make sure that no files are currently in use, I ran Ark of another operating system. He seems to have backed up everything except the few files that contains the data of actual user (e-mail accounts, messages and calendar data). Without burrow in the profile, it was not obvious that these files were missing. I don't understand why these files were treated differently.

    The lesson to take away is that this isn't a good way to save the profile, and it is useful to make your real critical files in the backup.

  • CPU dual core quad core replace on the radiator? Mini Tower Optiplex 755

    Hi, I am currently using a dual core 6850 and I think to buy a quad core. I have a 500W PSU as a spare.

    Can I replace the CPU on a Quad Core without changing the cooling system?

    heinflhs

    Here are the specifications of the replacement PSU part. Are they not better than the original power SUPPLY Dell block?

    This power supply is ATX and not EPS12V

    Better is not the issue.  Dell power supplys 80% efficient are not 70% ATX.  The - 5v rail is a question too although it may cause a fire from the motherboard or damage your system.  Its a dead giveaway that this is a power ensure between 1990 and 2000.

    This current is on track is not negligible. There is a single 12V RAIL on that unit and its maximum is 17A

    EPS 12V units have multiple @ 18 amps 12V rails each.  MAX Power on 12V rails is 264w not 204w

    This unit has much more on the 5V and 3.3V rails at the expense of the independent 12V rails and CPU 4 pin. So not this emergency equipment is not likely to work well or not at all.

    Recommended update or replacement is EVGA 750B 1

  • 200% + CPU Dual Core i7 3.0 GHz 16 GB Mac Mini end of 2014

    Hello

    I just bought Lightroom & Photoshop CC to complete my new Mac Mini. I thought that the specification above would be more than enough for Lightroom flowing normally - given my dual core 2012 MBP 2.5 GHz 16 GB ran Lightroom CC without any problem. However, I'm having a time torrid so far. Everything is extremely slow. Even when simply activate the lines of the grid, I'll have to wait 3-4 seconds for a response. Brushing is a nightmare as well.

    I tried to disable the GPU option, but it has improved things slightly. Perform light tasks is still up 200% of my CPU.

    Anyone know what I can do about it?

    During brushing, you have turned on automatic mask?  Automatic mask is very convenient when you brush next to an edge, but it won't slow the brushing process considerably.  Turn each time that it is not necessary for editing you do.

  • The two RAM are inserted but only is recognized on Satellite Pro 4600

    Hello

    I have a Pro 4600 and two memory modules:
    1 IBM 128 MB PC100 CL2 SODIMM 144 pin
    2 Infineon 128 MB PC133 CL3 144 pin SODIMM

    Each of these modules work fine separately.
    When I put the two to reach 256 of ram, the system recognizes only 128MB, but boots ok anyway.

    My question is: what to do to have 256 total RAM?
    If the two models will be absolutely same (including manufacturer), it will cause correct 256 MB of ram?

  • Available in Win7 disk Admin 3 TB drive; only 801GB recognized by BIOS

    Hello

    I used the seagate Disk Wizard to format GPT disk, and 1 partition of size 3 TB.  The operating system recognizes the disc as such.  However, once I try to write more than 800 GB (which is what recognizes the bios), the system interrupts the answer and I can hard.  Is there a fix for this, or my office does not support this?  I already went back a drive to Seagate, but I no longer believe it was a drive problem.  I have a HP Pavilion p6310f, execution of the 5.16 bios.   Update the SATA firmware on HP support site seems only for Western Digital disks, so I did not apply this hotfix.  Thank you.

    Bert cross

    Hi Bert,.

    You shouldn't have a problem with a hard disk of 2 TB. Advanced format drives can be problematic for some situations, so if you can avoid one of these types, then I would.  There is another thread here where I have recommended specifically that the OP return 3 TB hard drive and get a 2 TB hard drive.

  • Yosemite bootable install disc only half recognized

    Hello

    I am in the process of upgrading to 10.8.5 Yosemite and created a bootable Yosemite installation on a 100 G SSD drive connected via USB.

    The drive will appear under the "Startup disk" in "system settings" (sorry if these names are not quite correct because I use a Japanese version), and I can choose the drive so I guess that the disk must be blessed, but when I reboot, the Mac restarts on its built-in hard drive.

    I tried to restart while pressing the option key, but this time the installation of Yosemite drive not even will appear.

    Does anyone have an idea of what might happen and how do I fix?

    Thank you!

    You will have to redo the external hard drive, because the operating system on it is not recognised as bootable. How did you create the disk external bootable?

    The task manager has two graphics and I can change to/from the "one graph per cpu and one graph, all CPUs" in the options display, although that I thought she should have 4 graphics; which is logical that the CPU has 4 wires, so should have 4 graphics.

    Any ideas? I tried msconfig and reset the number of processors, but then it resets the memory to 2 GB so I have to reset that and restart it to recognize all the 6 GB of ram. but then my cpu is a nucleus! It seems that I have a dual core cpu and 2 GB of RAM or a simple core cpu and 6 GB ram! ATM I'm on a single processor core with 6 GB of ram. I think the only thing I can do is reset the cpu in msconfig and reboot and see if it works, but then it will set the RAM to 2 GB. I 'afraid' to uncheck the CPU and RAM at the same time, incase of my laptop computer won't load at all. What do you think?

    It is not too much a problem; If I had only 2/3 GB of RAM, then it would be a problem, would be just nice to have my CPU dual core of return!

    As always, I would be really grateful for any help with it.

  • Unique guest VM uses 100% of CPU Guest, but only 7% of the CPU host (includes screenshots)

    We have a Dell T420 ESXi 5.5 server.  The host has to a single UC E5-2407 (4 Core 2.2 GHz without Hyperthreading), 16 GB of RAM and RAID storage.

    The host runs a single VM Windows Server 2008, which was a P2V conversion.  The virtual machine is currently assigned 1 Plug and 4 Cores, corresponding to the host CPU.

    Since implementing this server about a year ago, he had a problem recurring pop up every few months.  When the problem occurs, the Server 2008 VM suddenly max use of the processor and the terrible performance, but CPU is be contributed to the maximum, not by a single program, but several normal processes.  For example, WMI, explorer.exe and the Task Manager may show all 30% CPU usage.  In the meantime, even if the guest virtual computer has 100% CPU usage, the host will show only using 300 to 500 MHz of CPU, or about 7% of available.  It comes despite the fact that it is the unique virtual machine and has full reign of all the resources of the host.  If the problem seems to be not with an abnormal load on the Guest VM, but less than the resources of the host.

    Restart the virtual machine does not correct the problem, and restart, which normally takes only a few minutes, lasts 30 minutes.  In the past, restart the ESXi host temporarily solved the problem, however it popup until today and persists even after several reboots of ESXi host.  See the attached screenshots for parameters and symptoms:

    ESXi CPU Problem 1.png

    It's the performance monitor virtual machine, whereas the problem that happens.  Notes on the virtual machine, Windows 2008 reports 100% of a core 2.2 GHz CPU 4 CPU usage, while the side host, the CPU usage never goes 626 MHz.

    ESXi CPU Problem 4.png

    Here are the counters of the State whereas the problem that happens.  When you start the virtual machine, the WAIT and SLOW counters were quite high, but they finally dip down when startup is complete.

    ESXi CPU Problem 2.png

    Here are the parameters and the stats of the ESXi host.

    ESXi CPU Problem 3.png

    Here are the parameters and the stats of the guest VM so that the problem that happens.

    Other troubleshooting steps:

    We changed number of vCPU on the VM from 4 to 1, without change.

    We put the CPU reserve for the VM to 50% and 100%, no change.

    The machine virtual was version 8 and we have updated to version 9, no change.

    Has anyone ever experience this problem?  Any help towards a solution would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I would say that it is somehow related to the fact that the VM was converted from physical server. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself:

    Type of CPU on the computer old physical host and VM match? At least seller of CPU? It goes the same for the chipset: are there different chipset vendor on the two hosts?

    What type of card NETWORK VM uses?

    Has uninstalled the drivers card mother/CPU specific converted VM? The VM tools are installed?

    Uninstall the old drivers of VM, currently they are not visible in the Device Manager here some is read: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/removing-old-hardware-after-a-p2v-conversion/

    I would also check the BIOS of the server - maybe there is some sort of option for active energy that interfere with the VM?

ES decir, the virtual VMWARE 4 CPU por Máquina limitacion in reality are 4 Cores. El said that no unless asignabas una CPU is the asignas don't con los hearts as tenga the CPU.

    Alguien sabe realmente than asigna VMWare, o CPU CORE?

    Saludos thanks por adelantado.

    Hola,

    VMkernel El chequea cada 20ms processes as mimi in los fisicos hearts y los migra an otro core so are necessary, are decir, una MV back vCPUs en una Máquina con con back CPU (dual Core) is ejecutara in all the corresponding VMkernel el y el proceso cada 20ms movera in aquel core than tiene el menor uso. Not however are posible hacer uso of the capabilities of "affinity" y mapear una VM con back vCPUS fisicos carrots back also - esto declared the capabilities of VMotion.

    MI consejo are pruebes primero con una vCPU en you MV is tomes United Nations base led performance. Luego reviews otra vCPU al the MV y el mismo runs test are compared results. This can be Québec el performance sea el mismo!

  • How to print a text recognized only without the original images

    I have a scanned PDF with the text recognized by using tools-> Recognize text. But when you print, it remains impressions colors or levels of gray original, even if I want to print only the recognized text. How to do?

    Perhaps someone versed in Acrobat Javascript can build a script to provide a "programmatic."

    I think it would be a non-trival task and therefore not provided free of charge.

    Otherwise, the manual method would be necessary.

    Keep in mind that when ClearScan falls on an image of a character that he does not recognize (so not even a 'suspect' is available) the image of the characters leave as a bitmap image.

    When you slick "background" you can these slick (when present). Find in the printed output would be like finding the needle in a haystack.

    Losing a character can have significant negative implications depending on what is in the content (1.2 seconds becomes 12 seconds).

    The only way to ensure (100%) that what is printed is the scanned image is to print the scanned image.

    Be well...
