but all that shows no there is no Hyper threading. Incorrect the [Y]16 Count 2 proves that Hyper threading is enabled on the CPU, further it's also reporting CPUs 2 Cores 1x2 . Any idea now? More suggestions? As Hyper threading is enabled on the CPU then there is either an issue with some other …

"Multiprocessor PC" is established on Windows installation, updating will preserve this setting. So, assuming HT works, full reinstall should fix your problem. Also, do you have "CPU processor number" selected under advanced setting menu in "msconfig" ? If it is, DESELECT/"Untick" it, and restart. …

Hmm it is the N0, SL7Z8 version which I thought was the same Sspec as the IBM part, but all that shows no there is no Hyper threading. Maybe a flaw in the BIOS or something happened during XP install and the ACPI MP hal was not installed. Go to Hardware > Device Manager > Computer and check the …

From what you have said it's impossible to know where the issue could be. I have a W7 x32 system with a 660 and a W7 x64 with 2 x Xeon (Irwindale), both have hyperthreading working. It would be helpful to know what CPUID 00000001 reports as the CPU count. It should be two, is it? Does CPUID …

So the BIOS is the latest. Have you tried to "Clear CMOS" or just extract a CMOS battery from the socket ? P.S. It might be that your CPU model / stepping is not in a whitelist Absolutely yes, I tried. Clear cmon doesn't work very well I have to say, I unplug the power cord and take off the battery …

Hi there my friends, Today I am working in a Lenovo A52 8343 system, and after various try, I really can't enable the famous Hyperthreading. I think that it's important to enable it to make the operating system see two cores and will be faster. Anyway, I haven't reach my point yet. The system is a …

Which program do you use to flash the bios? Flashrom? Or I have to do with the USB flasher ch341a? Neither approach will work. Virge cards (at least Virge (original), Virge/VX and Virge/DX) do not provide in-system flashing. So usually, these cards are not shipped with flashable ROM chips at all. …

It is possibile to solder the place where I have did the mess? Can I add tin, and rebuild traces where they were before? I don't think you can repair the board by just adding tin (solder). PCBs are build in a way that makes solder to flow away from any areas that are not copper - even if you remove …
