Quad Core Q6600 and only 1 core for BOINC ...

Hello,

I recently installed BOINC on a new machine : Q6600 with 4 cores, Windows Vista 32 bits, 4 Go RAM. BOINC is only working on 1 core at a time. The log shows "1 core" too ...

I tried 5.10.45 (with "16 processors") and latest Beta 6.2.11 ("100% processors"), same problem...

I read both this forum and the Boinc forum and I don't see any solution...

Can you help me please ?

I think that you will have to post the first lines of your BoincMgr messages here, from the very start down to the first "Starting task..." message.
You probably have an adverse combination of parameters and that will be simpler and faster for us.

Cheers. Jean.

Hello Exar Kun [HoloNet],
The answer will probably be in your settings in your BOINC profile or in the BOINC Manager local preferences.

Do know that BOINC takes the amount of CPUs that your OS reports that there are. So do check in Windows how many CPUs it reports there are. If also only one, you need to enable the other cores and possibly reinstall Windows.

Wow ! Vista reports only one core but the right cpu : q6600.

How can you enable the other cores ? In the bios ?


EDIT : I just saw that the "multiprocessor" option in the bios was desactivated !!! It works now ... thank you very much.
