Do the following check

Press windows key+R

type "msconfig"

Go to the "boot" tab

press the Advanced options button.

Make sure "number of processors" is unchecked.


EDIT:: Things also to check.

make sure in bios things like

C1E speed step etc are disabled. Basically anything to do with throttling or power management.

Go to control panel and select high performance mode. under "Power Options"

i thought it will only affect the boot up time of the pc..

i set it to 2 cores.... thinking will speed up my loading/boot time..

thank you.. will try it tomorrow...
