Hi. My laptop CPU (4700MQ) is presently exposing these signs:
1) noticeably lower Passmark performance index compared to others of same model
2) unlike before, CPU no more reports support for VT-x, independently measured with CpuZ, Intel CPU Identification Utility and Aida64. There might be more extensions no more supported, for complete list of currently reported extensions look here: http://content.screencast.com/users...7fc2-488e-8617-68ce08a62f51/12.15.2013-21.png
3) unlike before Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool (IPDT64) no more is able to finish (stalled permanently on Waiting for cache size stage)
The question is if one or more of these signs indicate possible CPU deffect ?
