I have a dual-core Intel E8400 CPU. About a month ago I had to reinstall
WinXP Professional on my computer, including SP3. Since then, when I go
into Task Manager, the performance tab only shows ONE graph for my CPU
usage history instead of two and no matter what I tried I can't get it to
show two graphs. Oddly, when I go into the menu View>CPU History the only
option available is "One Graph per CPU", which is the option when you have 2
processors/cores.
Though I would like 2 graphs, that is not my major concern. My concern is
whether both of my cores are working. Could this be an indication that only
one of my cores is working? When I go into my BIOS, it is indicating that
both cores are "Enabled". Also, Intel has a utility you can run that is
gives some stats on your cores. That utility is identifying two cores. So,
I am thinking this may be just a software "glitch" with Task Manager, but I
want to run this by someone to see what they think. Also, advice on how I
may be able to fix this.
Thanks.
