it shows me only 2 cores...

Check in your bios that all 4 are enabled. When you start your PC its usually DEL or F1/F2 to enter bios.

In one of the menus you should be able to enable all cores.

i cant find something in bios to enable all cores

What motherboard do you have?

Gigabyte EP31-DS3L

What bios version are you running? It needs at least version FB to use that CPU. I would update it to the newest (non beta) version and see if that fixes the problem.

Download and install version FC from here:

A p31 should support the 8xxx from default. Might run it at odd settings, but it should support all four cores with any bios. Are you sure you have the Q8200 in there? What does CPUz say?

Nick goon · Jul 21, 2014

misstake i add best solution...

Nick goon · Jul 21, 2014

cpuz says i have 2 cores and 2 threads and i have intel core 2 quad q8200

RobCrezz · Jul 21, 2014

In bios try loading "optimized defaults"

4745454b · Jul 21, 2014

Does CPUz say that? That you have the Q8200?

Nick goon · Jul 22, 2014

i didnt found any option like that

Nick goon · Jul 22, 2014

maybe i must renistall windows?

Nick goon · Jul 22, 2014

i fixed this problem, i reninstall windows and now its fine thaks guys for your time

If that's the case, MSconfig should have fixed that.
