Half of CPU not showing up

[Tisoraku]

I checked Everest and it shows CPU #1 / Core #1 at 0% when CPU #1 / Core #2 can be at 100%, the first one never moves, the Task Manager shows it at as high as 100% depending on what I'm running.

It says that the device is working correctly, unless this is normal, seems odd that the other one is not moving at all.

What CPU? What OS?

Yea, which processor is it? Any other specs?

I noticed I forgot that very important information after I asked the question.

AMD Brisbane 64 X2 3600+

Running Windows Xp SP3

Are you overclocking? Have you checked yoru BIOS settings? Have you updated your BIOS?

Not overclocking yet.

I have been trying to update bios, which does not seem to be doing anything, keep getting online and computer run arounds on updating BIOS and Drivers.

Isn't there some power thing on amd boards?

Kinda like C1E for intel

 

[KSoD]

There is. But i dont remember what it was in the BIOS. ISnt it C1E? Check the BIOS and turn off that option if it is there.

since it is Amd you are looking for "Cool and Quiet" technology.

should find that in the bios somewhere, disable it if you havent already.

Also go to Advanced Micro Devices, AMD – Global Provider of Innovative Microprocessor, Graphics and Media Solutions and get the latest drivers for that CPU.
