    Hey all I recently upgraded my Clevo D900F laptop to an Xeon 5670 which has 6 cores and 12 threads I believe. But CPUID is saying I only have 2 cores and 4 threads.

    I've enabled in the bios to use maximum cores
    And also gone into msconfig and unticked the number of cores used.

    What could be the issue?

    Here's what I mean

    It should be displayed like this should it not?:

    *edit problem sorted.

    I changed the startup selection from "selective"

    To "normal"

    I got one too, still running strong. Just updated the CPU and GPU in the last few months.
