📎 AI Summary:
In this WindowsForum thread, the original poster inquires about high CPU temperatures and whether their Core i7's reported single-core usage indicates a problem. Respondents suggest that the CPU temperature readings (55°C idle, 72°C max) are slightly warm but generally acceptable, recommending improved airflow and aftermarket coolers. They also clarify that utility software like CPU-Z may inaccurately report core count or cache details on newer CPUs, and confirm that the CPU's multiple cores are functioning correctly. The overall tone is informational and reassuring, with advice on cooling solutions and hardware diagnostics.

Can you post screenshot of run>msconfig>boot>advanced options... property page? Don't make changes yet.

Below is screenshot of mine.

Checkout the suggestion above but also I've been reading your bios notes and if you check my screenshot, you'll see that if this setting is disabled only one core is enabled. The setting is 'core multiplexing technology'...I went through it quick so I may have missed other settings

If both of the above fail, take all of your RAM out apart from one stick and reboot. See if there's any change. Post results if any..
Please check that all connections for power cables are fitted too, that includes the 4 pin CPU power connector, otherwise it will not run correctly ...

I don't have any BIOS setting with my laptop but as I outlined in my earlier post Win 7 defaults on install to recognizing
only one core on my machine. I had it setup as outlined to see the two cores but somehow it reset itself.
This bears watching in the future. As you can see from my post just setting msconfig wasn't enough, I had to resort to using a feature of EasyBCD to make the changes. Hopefully this BUG/feature will be fixed in the Win 7 final.
