Why don't you paste the results in?

Is this a machine that's been operating for a while? Could it have the wrong HAL (uniprocessor instead of multi-processor)? Can you try a WinPE environment and see what coreinfo shows there, or a Linux bootable ISO and see what /proc/cpuinfo shows?

Personally, I'm inclined to think it's an OS issue instead of the processor - the chances of just the right failure happening to kill one core seems remote to me.

As an example, here's the coreinfo processor info from my laptop (i7-2760, 4 cores with hyperthreading):

Al,
Ran coreinfo.exe this am. From what I see, it says that only Core #0 is operational.
So, bios 1102 says 2 cores present during bootup.
Coreinfo.exe says Core #0 is running,
cpuid v159 says 'only 1 core,'
hwmon v1.20 says 'Core 0 is 39C',and,
windows task manager says '..only 1 core is working.'
Fine.
I guess I now wait for my replacement C2D E8400 cpu to eliminate the Asus
P5Q3 m/b. (or, blow out a 2d E8400.................)
Am I close?
