blahblah Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 I have the same problem. I have a Amd 4400+ X2, but doesn't recongize it. I am running Microsoft XP Media Center Edition. Everything on the system works great except for the dual core processor. Hoping that someone can help me here. When I go into Computer Management and check under computer it shows, ACPI Uniprocessor PC. Under processor it shows something like, AMD family processor. I have put the last BIOS and the CPU fix from DFI's website on it and neither helped. Any suggestions? Thanks umm...... uniprocessor? that means its a single processor...... shouldn't you be changing that to multiprocessor?...... that should help.... i think........

Guest ElAguila Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Right click on my computer and select properties. On the Advanced tab click on the Environment Variables button near the bottom. Look for a system variable called NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS and see if it says 2 or 1. If it says 1 then double click and change it to 2 and reboot. If that doesn't fix the problem I think you will have to reinstall windows for it to update the hal layer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatwall23 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Ok, here is my update. I tried to change the NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS and reboot that did not help. I then reloaded the operating system and still nothing. Reloaded all the updates for the mother board and still nothing. This really becoming a huge pain, I have had this computer together for a month now and still haven't got this processor to show up right. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Majestic Twelve Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I have the same exact problem with my 4200 X2. I made a topic with pictures even, no go. Device manager says dual core multiprocessor, but task manager doesn't. Tell me if you get a fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatwall23 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Nope, still nothing. I really wish someone could tell me what is wrong and what I could do to fix it. I have reinstalled the operating system 3 times. Windows XP Media Center twice and the latest Windows XP 64 bit edition. Nothing I have done has even been able to show me that a have a multiprocessor in the device manager. I don't know what is going on. I have had the computer put together for almost 2 months now and still can't use it to its full ability. Does anyone know of anything else I could try? Please!!!
