I reinstalled Windows since it didn't indicate I had 8 cores.
Hi, I'm having issues with my AMD 8300. It's an 8-core processor, but when using Windows 10 I only see 4 cores. I used to have an AMD X4 860K and sold my old motherboard and CPU, now I have the 8300 with a 970GB RAM and a Gigabyte DS3P motherboard. When I check in the system if any cores are idle, it still shows I only have 4 cores. I tried rebooting the computer to see if that helps, but after that, the Windows installation got stuck at 24% for two days. I removed my old hard drive and installed a new one, but it keeps saying Windows can't download. My phone has Skype, could you help me with this? I really need some assistance.
In that scenario, you must have access to a computer to download the necessary files for creating a bootable USB drive and performing a clean Windows installation.
Press Hit and click Run, enter "msconfig", open Boot settings, ensure both maximum memory and number of processors are unchecked, save changes, then restart the system.
Press Win + R, enter "msconfig", run it, navigate to boot settings, ensure maximum memory and number of processors are unchecked, then save and restart.
