Solve : multiprocessor not working anymore?? |
|
Answer» ever since I upgraded to windows 7 (ultimate 64 bit) I had the idea one of my CPU's wasn't working, the same goes for my vista installation after that. CPU Identification Utility showed that you have 1 physical cpu with 2 cores. Are you saying you have 2 physical cpus? What make & model of motherboard? how do I see that, I know the brand is foxconn, oh, wait, I have the box here... lets see... yep, foxconn G3IMX-K the dual cpu did work in vista tough, but not anymore now (I rebooted in vista and ran some tests there, it returned the same)Quote foxconn G3IMX-K If that is a multiprocessor board, where is the other cpu socket? You have 1 dual core cpu and the CPU identification utility is showing it correctly. Quote from: Salmon Trout on December 04, 2009, 02:39:10 PM If that is a multiprocessor board, where is the other cpu socket? yeah, I could only see 1 socket in the manual too, but system requirements lab always displayed 2 processors (before I installed windows 7) rated at about 8 GHZ, now it says 1 PROCESSOR rated at 4 GHZ also, I was told at sale it had a quad core CPUokay, I found out the motherboard was in the wrong box, what I have is Foxconn G31MXQuote system requirements lab always displayed 2 processors Some hardware information apps describe a dual core cpu as 2 cpus. System requirements lab is known to misreport when dual core cpu is fitted. Quote from: what I have is Foxconn G31MX what I have is Foxconn G31MX Still single cpu board Quote I was told at sale it had a quad core CPU So you knew it was 1 cpu already. Anyway, you were told wrongly about the number of cores. I cannot say whether it was a mistake or a lie. E8200 is 2 core cpu. That board supports multi-processer CPU's...what is the question ?, ?Quote from: PATIO on December 04, 2009, 05:41:20 PM That board supports multi-processer CPU's...what is the question ?, ? The board supports a single cpu with multiple cores. Here is an image of a true "multiprocessor" board with 2 cpus. I SUSPECT (although I am not sure!) that the OP was previously under the impression that he had a "multiprocessor" system and grew suspicious that one of them was not working when he noticed signs that there was only 1 physical cpu running. Note how he says that the information from the CPU identification utility confirmed his suspicion that "one of his processors wasn't working" although that screendump shows a normal result for a dual core cpu. but there are multiple processors running, it was always ranked higher on canyourunit.com and device manager still says there are 2 [Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]A dual core CPU has 2 cores inside the package. They are identical and each one is a separate processor. A "multiprocessor" system has more than one CPU. Device manager on my P4 system shows 2 processors and there is only 1 cpu! You have a single processor. It has two cores. You have been told this about 4 times now.

Sorry....multi-core CPU's...Quote from: patio on December 05, 2009, 08:57:10 AM Sorry....multi-core CPU's...
