Enabling cores in my CPU.

Hello. I have a quad core processor in my HP a6752f. Lately I have been experiencing snapping sounds in my speakers and white noise whenever I am switching from one program to another. I am also getting dropouts in my programs when I am working the CPU. I ran a harware diagnostic test and I received a warning saying "There are 4 cores in the CPU and only 2 cores are enabled". I suspect this is creating my problem. Does anyone know how to enable my disabled cores? Thank you very much.

Hello Swordhandler
I responded to your other post at the following link: White Noise problem.

Hi:
I am looking at the BIOS setup guide for your PC series and it shows there is a VT setting under the device configuration menu for "select models." See Chapter 3 page 6.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01662442.pdf
Here are the specs on the T6500 processor. It does not support VT, which is why the VT setting cannot be enabled.

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Trying to install 10.7 on a mac mini core duo that has a core 2 duo cpu

I have installed a core 2 duo cpu (T7200) in an earlier Mac Mini core duo machine. Runs fine, the system report shows the Core 2 chip. When I try to install 10.7 over 10.6.8, however, the installer reports that it cannot install this version of OS X on this machine.
It is possible of course to install 10.7 on another machine and clone that to the hard drive here. But that seems like the hard way, jumping through too many hoops. Surely there must be somewhere in the (list of) plist files to tell the installer that it is OK to put 10.7 on this machine. I've tried a few places but w/o success. Perhaps someone is a good system hacker who knows how to do this? Many thanks,
tony

I agree-- that is a method that is often suggested. I apologize for doing the Yes, but.... routine; I have several other Macs, but I'd have to back one up (or clone it), clear the hard drive, install 10.7 on it, and then go through your suggestion. In principle it seems straightforward. I might have to resort to that. I had hoped that it would be possible for a more software-centric way, of convincing the installer that the machine was OK; Have I missed something here?
I've tried several suggested methods, and the closest so far is to get an installation from a bootable usb stick that looks like it's installing and then I get a circle with a line across it. No error messages.
the machine is a 1,1 original that now runs fine with 2 gigs memory, a core 2 duo (T7200) cpu. and 10.6.8.
I have tried removing the lines in the plist files that require the 3,1 machines, etc. but that has not helped.
If my time was worth more than 10 cents an hour I should have thrown the sucker away and bought a new one. I have an i5 Mini that screams. any more suggestions are most welcome.
thanks

Do I need to re-enable Core Storage after cloning and swapping out my HDD?

I swapped out the internal hard drive of my mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro for an SSD. I'm very pleased with the performance gains so far — it feels like a whole new Mac. I cloned my HDD to the SSD before installing using Carbon Copy Cloner and I also created a Recovery partition using the same software. Now after doing the hardware swap, verything is working perfectly — no issues at all. Here's my question:
I know that when I upgraded to Yosemite, my hard drive was converted from old-fashioned GUID partitions to the new Core Storage and a logical volume group partition. After the clone and hardware swap, I'm back to old-fashioned partitions, no more Core Storage. Do I need to manually re-enable Core Storage? (I've read about how to do this, and I feel confident I can follow the steps.) What are the benefits of this? Will a future Yosemite (hypothetical 10.10.3?) update put it back for me? Or is it fine to proceed the way I am now? I'm not currently using FileVault 2, which I know also uses Core Storage.
Thanks.

No, you don't have to convert to CoreStorage unless you decide to create a Fusion drive out of your SSD and HDD.

Unable to enable Core Server

Following the documented steps to enable CIFS acceleration, but for some reason I am unable to enable the "enable core server" option (same applies to "edge server".
Am I missing something ?
Please advise,
Sijbren

Sijbren,
If you are using WAAS 4.1.x and using CIFS AO, you don't need core and edge services, just enable the AO for CIFS acceleration.
If you are using WAAS 4.0, then enable the CIFS edge/core services via the GUI. If you are using legacy mode in 4.1, then you need to have the CIFS AO disabled before you can enable the edge or core services. Once edge and core services are enabled, then you can create connectivity directives.
However, I recommend you use the transparent cifs acceleration in the new CIFS AO in 4.1, it's easier to setup and takes advantage of bi-directional acceleration.
Hope that helps,
Dan

P4 processor is the minimum system requirement for it.

Z87-G45 GAMING unable to enable EIST when changing CPU ratio

Hi
I need some advice please.
The moment I change the CPU ratio using the +- my options for enabling turbo core and EIST gets greyed out.
I get the option to se the ratio to Dynamic mode and have tried it but the CPU still does not throttle down multipliers in Windows even if idle.
Have tried the following.
Loaded BIOS 1.3
Cleared CMOS left out battery etc.
Still does not allow me to enable it.

500/(128)/500/1024(A). Try with the Power Options in Windows set to 'Balanced'.
I found my minimum processor power state was set to 100% restored that to default 5% and now it clocks down the mulit.
Now the voltage only stays at what I specified in the BIOS, can I somehow control that by setting vcore to auto and using the offset to limit volts on 1.190V?
**Edit**
Installed the MSI Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and found a setting that allows me to put core voltage mode to adaptive and now volts are down to 0.695V
Thanks so much for all the help

MBP 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, CPU temp constant 90 degrees C at high load

I have a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo MBP. Not sure which chipset, but not Santa Rosa. I'm still running 10.5.2 because I don't want to stop the process I'm running at the moment.
Anyhow, I'm running both CPUs at full load, and the program I'm running is very SSE-heavy. iStatPro reads the CPU as running at 90 degrees C with the fans running at about 3800RPM. It's been running like this for several days straight because this is the fastest compute hardware I own. I have three PC case fans pointing at the notebook, so the exterior is relatively cool, as are the other temp readings, but the CPU temp makes me nervous. Various things I've read suggest that about 85C isn't so healthy for the processor. Is that true?
I did try calling Apple Care, but they basically blew me off, suggesting I use external cooling. I could take it to the Genius bar, but that'll be a good 3 hours of my time, so I need to make sure it's worth it.
Comments?
Thanks.

See this article regarding runaway applications:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304882
and use that technique to make sure that no other heavy applications are crashing the party. There will be a number of smaller system apps and processes running; you're looking for a big hitter that you did not want.
I hear that the MBP is good for 100°C/ 212°F. I'm a little surprised that you're getting only 3800 rpm at 90°. Fans should be able to turn up to 6000 rpm. You may wish to download smcFanControl.
I use that program to increase the resting rpm from 2000 to about 2500 to give a head-start on any heat issues. At 2500, the fans are not noticeable unless I put my ear an inch from the the computer. The program also has a quick-change setting that lets you quickly bump the fan speed to the max of 6000 if things get too hot too fast.
