Hello!
I have very poor response and AMD Phenom 9600 benchmarks:
1) WinRAR = 454 w/TLB fix diabled Avg scores for my system 1,100
2) Call Juarez = 30 FPS Avg score = 45
Dont know whats wrong. Could it be a dead core? How can I check?
1) My WinRAR score with the TLB fix enabled is a sickening 80!!! vs 454 disabled. So I am certain that the fix was disabled at my score of 454.
2)Regarding number of active cores:
a) When I run task manager I see only ONE window for CPU in performance.
b) Running CPU-Z V1.49 shows ONE Processor ONE Core
c) CrystalCUPID V 4.15 shows only ONE of One cores (Code name Agena?) I should see 1/FOUR
d) ) SpeedFan shows Core3 at -128C) Is it dead?
e) Vista sidebar Gadget Multi-Meter Q (Tiny meter in center of pic Shows ONE core Max''d. I was Never able to see Any Activity by Any of the other cores)
f) CPUz which shows at bottom Selection is Greyed Out at Processor 1, fine, I have only 1 BUT it also shows only ONE core.
I also ran a prog to Change the Number of Processors (& Cores in Duo's & Quads) in Vista Boot Up. Using msconfig I got to System/Config/Boot/Advanced where I should be able to select the number of Processors or Cores, it is Grayed Out at One and I Can Not check the # of Processors.
I think I have a REAL Problem here. help
Thank You, John

I have run a multitude of programs that indicate problems. The attached image displays results from:

I Believe I have a Bum Quad-Core.
