Q8400 Detected as Dual Core
Hey,
After upgrading from an E5200 to a Q8400, Windows 8 is still reporting that I only have two cores. Device manager shows all four but task manager and MSconfig only states that there are only two. How can I make Windows detect all cores?

Fixed. I restored defaults in the BIOS and it's now picking up all 4 cores.

It is the Vostro 220MT. The CPU is properly detected in the BIOS.
