FX6350 now a single core CPU ?

[Charlysays]

Well not exactly, I'll keep it short and sweet. Had some Vodka, was mucking about with some setting....vaguely remember changing something from 0-6.

Next day went to edit a video and my PC almost ground to a halt almost. So I Checked my task manager & resource monitor to find I have now only one core working @ 100% What have I done......Doh!

Msconfig by any chance?

reset the BIOS?

I wasn't in the bios, I had just installed the new AMD drivers as I also have a HD7770. I was setting up overdrive for the Cpu, had another Vodka and noticed my cpu was up to 6100mhz lol so stopped it as that's not the usual 4300 that I get on Air. I turned it off and went to bed.

Check msconfig and go to the Boot tab, then advanced options and untick "Number of processors".

I was In about that as well, what could I have done in there? I remember stopping stuff that was in start up though

Ha, think you and the other dude might be spot on with that, it kind of rings a bell

Sitting at work laughing at myself just now, no wonder it was overclocking so good lol.

I can confirm I am an idiot, msconfig me someone

That must be dire running on half a core.

It was lol, it was actually like going back in time

I thought that setting in MSConfig was just when the PC was booting?

 

[Charlysays]

Aye, boots to one core lol. I assume it overclocked better because there was not a lot of heat from one core
