well a bit strange this, task manager is showing one core only
power plan is set to full power, ran msconfig but couldn't see anything out of place. device manager shows dual core. not sure what else i could try?

i'm hoping i've just disabled one core? some how

thanks for the help

Tried turning off EIST and C1E in the BIOS?

i'll double check it but i'm pretty sure its set correctly, worth a check though

eist and c1e don't disable cores.
Is your os set to ACPI multiprocessor pc ( computer tab under device manager )?
If it is, then I really have no idea :s.
If it isn't then this thread might be of some use:
