Processors on Device Manager

OS: XP Pro SP1 (fully updated)
Motherboard: Giga-Byte GA-8IG1000 Pro-G
BIOS: F3
Processor: Intel P4, 1MB L2 Cache, 800-MHz System Bus 3.0-
GHz, HyperThreading compatable

When accessing the Device Manager, there is
no 'Processor' tab listed. The PC is also listed as
a "MPS Uniprocessor PC". To my understanding, a PC with
HyperThreading enabled should be listed as an "MPS
Multiprocessor PC", and should have 2 processors listed
in their tab. Also, two graphs should be shown in the
Task Manager, whereas only one currently is.

Task manager:

The computer has been running games quite slowly, and
therefore i am not sure whether HyperThreading is
working, despite being Enabled in the BIOS.

Thanks for any help,

Yes it is a custom built comp.

There is no ACPI area in the CMOS (actually there's only
one mention of it anywhere). There's a copy of the manual
at
http://europe.giga-
byte.com/MotherBoard/FileList/Manual/manual_8ipe1000g_e.pd
f
Around page 35 is the BIOS section.

The only options for ACPI are;
S1(POS)
S3(STI)

Currently S1 is selected.

Is this a home built computer? What it sounds like is
the ACPI settings
are not set properly in the BIOS. It should read ACPI
Multiprocessor PC
and you should have a Processors icon which shows 2 Intel
(R) Pentium(R)
4 CPU 3.0GHz under it. I would check the BIOS first and
you may have to
do a repair operation if Windows won't boot after
enabling ACPI in the BIOS.

That is interesting. There is no option and what you saw for ACPI was S1
(Standby) and S3 (Hibernation). Did you originally install Windows XP
on this computer or did you upgrade with the current version of Windows?
There is no reason that it should install it as a MPS Uniprocessor if
you installed Windows on this computer they way it is right now. You
can always try a repair operation where you boot off the Windows XP CD,
choose install, wait for it to find your existing installation, and then
press R to repair. It will not lose any of your data and will simply
repair the core components hopefully fixing your problem

I'll give that a go.

It was recently upgraded in hardware, but it had a fresh
format afterwards. It's always been XP pro.
