Intel Xeon E5 2440 @ 2.40GHz

This CPU only shows 7% usage in task manager, even when running prime95. This CPU recently had hyperthreading disabled to try to fix this but it did not fix it..

power options are set to high performance and maximim processor state is set to 100%.

not too sure what to look at next.

turbo mode is enabled as well.

please help
 
Solution
Try different benchmark program that can push processor to 100% and monitor during the test. Cinebench does a good job of pushing processor.
