1 Core dead ?

[8 I3ALL]

hi ive got a core2duo E6600

Ive been away for the weekend (computer was left running) and now it seems that i have no activity from 1 of the cores. Ive run TAT and it shows the speed of both cores but temp of only 1 and also my gadget it vista is only showing the use of 1 core

Is it possible for 1 core to die and the other to keep running or is this motherboard related or Vista related


hohum !!!!
i had done a selective driver boot and that seemed to be the problem

All sorted now

Haha! I have no idea but I find the thought of one core popping its clogs over the weekend quite amusing. I'm clearly hysterical.

Could be Vista or even board related, would try another board or a maybe a quick install of another OS, for e.g XP

Hey there,

If you check the windows forum you will see that this is a Vista problem... you might wanna check it out... better news then it being the CPU mate
