For the longest time i have been battling a horrible slownes in my win 7 64 bit system.
Asus p6t MB
i7 -930 2.81 gig overclocked to 3.85 gigs
6 gigs ddr
Pny Nvidia gtx 470 over clocked as well.
All my games played horribly.. low frame rates etc etc.
well when over clocking my grafics card in a attempt to get more frames per second i ran cpu-z and bang there it was 1 core 1 thread being utilized
checked task manager/performance monitor and same only one cpu clock showing.
brought up msconfig and went to boot advanced and only 1 thread showing no option to select anything else.
updated mb drivers
updated all other drivers
same problem
so I simply uninstalled all 8 cpus from the device manager and ebooted and let windows redownload the drivers.. then on reboot i opend msconfig and sure enough all 8 were available i then clicked the box to use all 8 and now wow my rig is a screamer
batttlefield bad company on 1920x1280 is consistantly 70 to 75 frames per second with every detail seting to max.
i suggest anyone having slow system and poor game performance do a check to make sure you are using all your cores.
just download and run cpu-z abd see how many cores and threads it lists if its not 4 and 8 then you need to do the above.
In my searching across the net no one even recomended this simple fix all were saying a reinstall would be needed etc.
it worked perfect for me and should for anyone else with the same issue.
