Stress testing in Vista

doctoe2260 · 27 Mar 2008 at 03:19

Ok guys, am I being a moron? I've just put together my new rig

E6400
GA-P35C-DS3R mobo
2Gb OcUK ram
BFG 8800 GT
Vista Ultimate 32bit

whenever I run orthos, it claims I have more than one CPU (rather than one dual core chip), and the system hangs the moment I start running the stress test! Any ideas? I suspect either orthos incompatability with vista, or some memory issues - settings are still on auto, no overclock yet.

Any help gratefully recieved.

Thanks
