K9VGM-V and dual core, task manager recognises one core?

Motherboard : MSI K9VGM-V (Not OEM)
CPU : AMD Athlon X2 4200+
RAM : 1GB Corsair DDR2 667Mhz
GPU : Point of View 7900GS
OS : Windows XP Home SP2
I've had this setup for a while now, and only now noticed that my Task Manager is only showing information on one core and I can't set affinity for any program on the processes list. Device manager shows two instances of AMD ATHLON X2 4200+ but nothing else shows a sign. I've also looked through the game applications steam and it says I have 1 Physical and 1 Logical, surely this isn't right?
I have a version 1 BIOS and the MSI site says dual cores weren't compatible until the latest version of the BIOS (V1.8). I have download that and have reformatted my USB stick to FAT32 and have it all ready with the software this forum recommends. I have tried flashing once, and I couldn't get the flash software to boot, I have changed the boot sequence and most other options in the BIOS and it still doesn't boot. Does anybody know what settings I need for the process to begin?

Ahh, I managed to flash the BIOS successfully after reformatting my drive once more. All I need to do is to reinstall some drivers from AMD now.

K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Dual Core

I just received my new MSI K8N Neo4 LSI Platinum motherboard and I am waiting on my new processor AMD Athalon64 dual core 4400+. My questions are:
1. If the bios on the motherboard is not the latest one will the motherboard boot with the dual core processor. If not what are my options?
2. If I manage to boot, and all the components are new, assuming I will boot into DOS, can I make a bios update from there or I need to install Windows and then do a bios update?
3. And what are the bios update procedures for MSI motherboards?
Thanks a lot guys for help

hi,
In order to use dual core CPU on the MB, update BIOS to the latest version (3.4 and above) before using it. After flashing BIOS, please enter BIOS Load Optimized defaults, Save&exit it, then change CPU to dual core one.
For how to update BIOS, refer to:
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/award.htm
You can use the dual core without updating the Bios. However, your second core won't work until the update. So you can use the cpu without the correct bios version to install windows.

The difference between Intel core I7 and dual core

Labview 7.1 and Dual Core Processors

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has encountered any problems using Labview
7.1 and the newer dual-core processors. I have a Dell Dimension DXPO51,
2.8 GHz Pentium D with 1 GB ram. There is NO virus software or any
other non-essential programs running in the background. The computer is
totally dedicated to controlling a machine.
Other NI boards installed: PCI-6221 for analog inputs, PCI-6602 for
reading encoders, PCI-7352 Motion Control board to control 2 motors.
The problem:
Periodically when I start my program, it locks up and I get the "Tell
Microsoft about this problem..." screen. After it exits out of Labview
and I restart, the Run arrow is not broken but the program will not run
until I make a change on the block diagram. Then I can run again.
Doesn't happen all the time, doesn't happen after running after a
certain amount of time, doesn't happen after a particular change is
made (i.e. adding case statements, adding an event, etc.). In other
words, totally random.
I have tried totally uninstalling ALL National Instruments software,
including cleaning the registry, and re-installing everything. Didn't
help.
The machine will be shipping with the executable file only but I'm still leary of problems arising due to this issue.
Any help or suggestions of things to try would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Teri

Hi Teri,
I've seen scattered reports of users having trouble with dual-processor
machines with earlier versions of LabVIEW, though I'm not aware of
verified solutions in those cases. The dual-processor operation
should be completely transparent to LabVIEW, although I know XP has had
some difficulties in providing the abstraction correctly. A
workaround that has been successful in the past is to set the processor
affinity for LabVIEW to a single processor. This should eliminate
the dual-processor nature of the system from consideration. If
the problem still recurs after that, then the issue stems from another
source and we can investigate further. Does it show this behavior
with any program (or just by opening the LabVIEW environment)?
How often does this occur (10%, 50% of the time)?
Cheers,

Fire fox wont start, when I go to upgrade firefox asks to shut down firefox but is no opened and visible, the task manager says it is in the system but not in the applications running.

Firefox wont open, When i go to upgrade through explorer it starts to upgrade but says firefox is running and must be shut down.
it is nowhere to be seen, Task manager says it is not in the applications but it can be seen on the processes column.

HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX, ALSO WITH IE-8. HAVE TALKED TO TECH AT IE-8 SAYS MY SIDE FINE. HAVE FOR 2 WEEKS TO DOWNLOAD FROM MOVIEPRO.NET. AND MY TIME RAN OUT TO DOWNLOAD MOVIES.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A SITE BBB. AT THE TOP OF EVERY SEARCH WINDOW. OR A NUMBER CODE FROM BROWSERS. THAT WILL TELL US A NUMBER, FOR WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE SITE YOU ARE GOING TO.
I HAVE WROTE TO MOVIEPRO.NET 12 PLUS TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT WRITE BACK.
SO IS IT MOVIEPRO.NET OR FIREFOX. OR IE-8
HAY IF YOU PAY US $140.00 WE WILL TELL YOU HOW TO UNCHECK 2 BOXES AND HAVE A NICE DAY..
AND WHEN YOUR COMPUTER REBOOTS, ALL THAT IS HISTORY

When I go to a link all is fine except the link takes up the entire screen and there is no way to move out other than control alternate delete and brining up task manager to exit out of firefox, help

again, I am able to use search of firefox to get to a link but then all the tool bars from my operating system are no longer available as the link takes up the entire screen (there are no firefox toolbards either so I can't shrink the page etc).. Thus I cannot move around and am stuck with no option but control alt delete to get to task manager to close firefox.

Thank you so much...
1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.

Closing and restarting firefox task manager reports firefox already running

When I exit firefox and later try to restart it without rebooting, task manager says it is already running and I have to close it before restarting. Task manager is reporting that 99% of its time is spent running Firefox.

See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]], in your case it appears that Firefox is not closing properly, so the [[Firefox hangs#Hang at exit|Firefox hangs at exit]] article may be relevant.

Upgrading computer to Vista and Dual Core

I am planning to upgrade my computer to a dual core with Vista Home premium. This will entail a new hard drive with Vista and the reinstallation of all software. If I start to use LR now how do I save my library and images with related keywords so that they are useful when I re install LR
Thanks
Roger Lieberman

You'll be just fine, I have a dual boot setup (XP and Vista), and use the same library from both environments. Just remember that you have to use the same drive letter(s) for your image directories in both environments, unless you switch to using Vista permanently (in which case you can "reconnect" your image files, if the drive letters change)

P6N platinum and Dual Core Center

Hi,
When I attempt to use the Dual Core Center I get an error:
0xc0000005 Program failed to start, press OK to end.
I have updated the BIOS, Dual Core Center, Nvidea drivers, .NET framework etc no change.
Tech support told me that the Dual Core Cell chip on the board was bad so I got a second board without change.
I really don't care about the OC'ing features, I want to monitor temps and control fans.
I have tried Speedfan, it does not control the fans plugged to the mobo headers. Neither does Nvideas tool (Nview).
Infact nothing I have tried will control the fans.
Suggestions?
(Aside from returning both boards and going with a different brand)

I think the program is horrible...don't waste your time with it.
If it works, good! It doesn't tend to fuss.
But if it doesn't work, uninstall it.
CoreTemp and Everest like Jack says are the best.
Fan speeds however your out of luck with. You can submit a report through Speedfan to the author however.

K8N Neo4 Platinum and Dual Core on Linux

I have solved my problem with getting both cores to work and thought I would post it here as info in case anyone encounters the same problem.
Bios 1.5 works fine, but when I installed it I used the option which prevents overwriting the boot block, and was only able to get one core to boot because of APIC problems. Doing a full flash prevented the IOAPIC bios setting from being turned off and allowed the board to be recognized as SMP compatible.
I guess part of the IOAPIC table must be in the boot block area

After few test i have changed a cd drive : from dvd-usb external to internal ide drive and W Xp
setup corretly.
But for me new problem:
now i have first O/S on SATA1 and secondary O/S (installed now) on primary IDE 1 channel,
and in any root i have one boot.ini and both boot.ini have a similar row (!?)
First installed on SATA1:
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
Second Insatalled on IDE1:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
The second O/S now dont boot:
my intention is to copy a row from second boot.ini to first boot.ini ; but i ask for what parameter i use on "multi", "disk", "rdisk" ?
I hope on your help, please and sorry for my bad english.
Thanks

XP, Vista and Dual Core

I have a Lenovo N500 (Pentium duel core T3400 2.16, 3GB) Vista and my hard disk has failed (After 18 months!!!!).
The only recovery disks I have are XP Recovery/Downgrade.
I have put a new hard drive in and used the XP recovery disk, after the install XP boots for the first time and runs through the Lenovo post XP install, then on re-boot XP hangs during start-up.
The only way I can get XP to start normally is to boot to safe mode and disable one of the cores using MSConfig.
Given that it boots to safe mode with both cores enabled I figure that this is some problem with drivers/software. If I use SOS boot to try to get more info I get to the screen that list the processors memory etc and then it freezes, so not much help.
The laptop is up to date with all the drivers from Lenovo, and windows update. This happens with XP service pack 2 (This is what is installed from the recovery disk) and with SP3.
Have spent too long getting nowhere talking to Lenovo customer support in India, it looks like it will cost £45 to get a Vista disk sent to me!
If I can't get XP to work properly, does anybody know if you can use any Vista install media, or does it have to be a Lenovo Vista disk to work with the product key with the laptop?
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

If your serial is for XP, you need the OEM version. That serial won't work with Retail version.
If you have Vista, you can use your serial. But you need to use phone activation because Lenovo's serial are blacklisted (al least with Windows 7 happens this issue).

Unable to work in embedded Excel worksheets, errors out, and forced into task manager

I am unable to work in Excel worksheets embedded Word 2010. I continually get the following errors/warnings: "Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature
is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?" & " "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure
that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed." After these messages, I click to repair Word and upon a fresh reboot ...the same thing over and over and over again. After going through this procedure, I usually get another warning message regarding "OLE...." which
pops up continually until I "Ctrl-Alt-Del" and stop the Excel item in processes.
Currently I'm on Win7 64 Enterprise OS and 32 Bit Office 2010, Solutions that I have tried: disabling add-ins, updating, installing service packs with no success...
HELP PLEASEEEEEE!!!!

Hi,
You disable COM Add-in in Excel or Word ?
This problem might be related to some third-party in Excel,
Close word, and start Excel worksheet.
In Excel, click File menu, click Options >
Add-ins, click Go button in the Manage:
COM Add-ins.
Check if there has any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
Start Word and try to edit your embedded files. They should now work without a problem.
If the problem does not appear, restart Excel and add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Excel program, and
repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Best Regards.

What's the difference between an Intel Core 2 Duo and Dual-Core Chip?

Does someone know if there's a difference between these two chips?
Thanks,
Paul

Yes. The Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, the Core 2 Duo is a 64-bit processor. The C2D is the second generation of Intel's Core lineup and is considerably faster than a CD at the same clock speed. Core 2 Duo processors are also available with four processors on the chip and are pin for pin replacements for the processors used in the Mac Pro - thus providing 8 processors rather than 4.
You can find a basic comparison here: http://www.apple.com/macbook/intel.html.
You can visit Intel's web site to find out everything there is to know about both processors.
