One core on Intel Core 2 Duo not working

All's well that ends well! My machine is working correctly now!

The solution was
(a) Enable ACPI 2.0 Support in the BIOS (suggested by Kursah--THANKS!!! :toast:)
(b) Re-install Vista (suggested pretty much by everyone :))

Thank you all for your valuable input! Now I am a happy man!

Congrats dude! Glad it all worked out well for you in the end. You did a great job fixing your PC, all we can do is suggest, you have to do the work. So good job! :toast:
 
ACPI 2.0 should have beeen on by default? oh well.

Either it was off or my son who did the original istallation turned it off. The second one is more likely :nutkick:

Thanks again!
