Hello

One of my cores is missing an I have tried everything to find it.
I am using :

Cpu= Amd athlon 2 x2 270
Mobo= gigabyte ga-78lmt-s2p

3 days ago, one of my cores went missing (not showing up in task manager)
since then i have done :-

a fresh install of windows 7
checked an rechecked to see the cores enabled in bios
cleared the Cmos
updated the Bios
tried msconfig/boot/advanced (only 1 core available)
cpuz only shows up 1 core

does anyone have any more suggestions ?

1. msconfig/boot/advanced will always show 1 core. don't worry about that.
2. CPU-Z will also show only the first core.

Download, Core-Temp from Internet, and see how many cores it is showing the temprature for. If you see a core missing there than you have a problem at your hand , verify this and come back and we will see what can be done.

Thanks for your answer ..
I posted this after reading all the other requests for missing cores,
after posting I cleaned my cpu and re applied new thermal paste.
Now ive got 2 cores in msconfig/boot/advanced
and 2 cores in Cpu Z :)
