Okay first off, I am not very bright around computers, I know the basics but I dont know them deeply. So here is my problem:
I got this old PC with specs like: nVidia 730, Intel Quad Core Q8200 2.33hz, 4gb Ram, 700w powersupply, i dont know the brand of the motherboard......
Well I needed a fresh installation of windows, so I sent it to a PC shop, when it came back it was slow, before sending it I had set the processors to "4" from msconfig>boot>advance>number of processors, as adviced from a friend. So when I got it back it was awfully slow and I thought it might had some problems with that and I turned them back to "1" (the processors). And i restarted it, and when I went back to check there is no option to select 4 processors, its only 1.
So im asking if I fried the other 3 cores, i dont know how they work, but when I play games, Dota2 for example I get 9~20fps on which usually i get 80~120fps. CSGO; 90fps to 15~25fps.
In other news though the PC boots up rather quickly than before, also opens folders programs faster, and preforms mediocre on programs like Vegas and Photoshop, rendering takes a lot of time of course but yea.....
Is there to definitely check if the cores are dead, or anyway to take my PC back to its old speed.
EDIT: Just ran "Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool" and it deteced 1 Physical and Logical Core, and while testing these two modules failed: SPBC and BrandString.
