Upgraded to Q6600 - old cpu still showing - help!

[saxon77]

Hey there.

I upgraded a CPU from an Intel E6550 to a Q6600. However, although the BIOS recognises the Q6600, Vista shows both the old E6550 and and the newer Q6600 listed - i.e 2 x Core Duo E6550 and 2 x Q6600, meaning it's listing 4 processors!

Can anyone please let me know how I can fix this? Is it just a simple case of deleting the 2 E6550 entries from the Processors within Device Manager or is there something else that needs done?

As always your help is much appreciated

try updating your bios to the latest version and if that doesnt work format and reinstall windows

Try deleting the incorrect entries and reboot.
