• Not detecting my 6 cores
    8 replies, posted
I just bought a Phenom II x6 processor. I opened msconfig so i could utilize all core for windows cause i just feel like it. I used dxdiag to see if its detecting the specs right. It was. Said the processor was AMD Phenom II x6 (2 cpu's). Also with my gpu is Evga which comes with the precision program for overclocking. Every time i try to max out i crash. I have good airflow so i don't think it would be overheating. I would like to fix these issues.
MSCONFIG > Boot > Advanced options > Check Number of cores and choose 8. Define maxing out. Some parts just can't go as far as others.
Thats what i did with msconfig. When i selected number of cores it only has 2. Im not gonna worry about video card right now. Not worth my time atm. [editline]22nd May 2011[/editline] Got it. Thanks
Despite the fact that Windows uses all cores on boot and /numproc=x is only for limiting cores to a number of x (it's a [url=http://www.withinwindows.com/2008/08/09/tweaking-myth-increase-boot-performance-for-multi-core-users-with-msconfig/]tuning-myth[/url]), this problem is weird.

What motherboard?
I had this problem before I updated my BIOS
in my bios i can turn off cores to save power, make sure thats not turned on

[QUOTE=Djessey;30002699]Like Darkimmortal said, Update your bios. I've had the same problem.[/QUOTE] It's in most cases just because you edited your /numproc setting in msconfig. Simply don't touch that setting and you never get this issue.
