Well i was playing Spores with winamp opened ,
then i was jumped to the blue screen of death
Computer restarted and i ve found that the processing speed of EVERYTHING decreased by twice
I ve read the FAQ and turned off the EIST and CIE
I ve checked the properties in my computer
I m a nub in hardware configuration
so i wanna ask
1)Did my computer actually switch off 1 of my core after the blue screen of death ?
if so how to activate it again ? Or was it after the blue screen of death 1 of my core just KIA
and nth can be done apart from getting a new one ?
appreciate all helps orz

Do you have 2 physical cpu's ? Or are you talking about dual core ? From the looks of your CPUZ screenshot you have one dual core CPU and it looks ok to me .... E6320 running at stock speed. Did you run benchmarks prior to and post BSOD ? That would help to determine your alleged loss of performance. And was the performance loss in all apps or only games or only Spore ? Also would be good to know your exact system specs like mobo, psu, ram video card.
yeah i was confused too
I just got 1 Dual core CPU
i ve checked my ram/display card and every things fine
right now it takes 5 min to start the OS
and i cant even run my homeworld 2 smoothly
so i suspect only 1 of my core is working
I can see the CPU usage remains @ around 9 - 30 % in idle stage
50 - 90% while running games or winamp
btw wads benchmark prior and BSOD . I m too nubby

If one core had blown, you'd have a bigger problem than slow boot-up.
How much HD space have you got left?
Defragged lately?
After BSOD, it takes windows a little longer than usual to get going. Once in you should get a message about the system recovered from a serious error.
You should be fine after than.

Did you overclock any? I know that on my old mobo if I made it crash (I like to tinker with things WAY too much), it would revert to stock speeds. That could be what happened.

^if the guy can't spell "noob" correctly, i doubt he knows how to overclock.
I recommend you rightclick your "C" drive in my computer, click properties, tools, and defragment.
Then in that tools menu, hit check disk for errors.
reboot and it will take a while but will show whether your harddrive is dying.
get rid of your XP theme. that will have the biggest impact in any of your games.
