dwd Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 hi there, i got a DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Expert with a OPTERON 180 on WIndows Professional with Service pack 2, in windows task manager in tab performance just shows one cpu usage graphic it should appear 2. the CPU is acting like single core. I read here a few posts and tried to go /system32 delete hal.dll, copied halaacpi.dll into /system32 and renamed it to hal.dll. This procedure worked with the other guy but... the windows didnt boot Its annoing... any tip ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3stars Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 you put in the optimzer and driver from amd that should do the trick ......if you haven't i dunno then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTjik Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Are we talking about a fresh XP install which didn't pick up both cores, or you swapped CPU while keeping the OS installed? If the latter you could check this post and see if you missed some steps: http://www.diy-street.com/forum/showpost.p...081&postcount=3 The problem might be that you swapped, but didn't give XP a fair chance to pick up the new device if the old single core device was kept installed.

ReelFiles Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I wouldn't mes around, just clean install, and you'll be back up in no time. Unless it's a modified XP install CD it should configure itself during install. I don't bother with any of the optimizers and don't have any problems.

3stars Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 check out AMD's site there are some optimizers and drivers but like the others said it should pick up on the dual core unless it's an old xp like before sp1 or is not intergratered install re nlite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTjik Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 What BIOS version do you have? I don't see any particular update that would fix this, but you never know before tested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
