I recently updated my BIOS and before that, when I computer was powered on, it would actually tell that "all four cores are activated!" Since then, it has not shown up and I went into the task manager and it tells me, "2 cores and 4 Logical Cores" My friend says that it has been compressed down to only 2 cores and everything is fine. However, I am getting some performance issues during gaming and especially while recording.
CPU: AMD FX-4300 quad core @ 3.8Ghz
MOBO: m5a 78l-m lx plus
Is it fine? Or is it only running 2 cores. If so, how can I get it back to 4?
EDIT: I did re install Windows 8.1 last Friday (12/20/13) (Just hours before updating BIOS)
