Now,
This just isnt right, is it? Seems low to me?
HD gets 5.9 and all other items get 7.2, but 4.7 for the cpu (2630qm) is just shocking.

Now, it does bounce between 798 to 1995 during test, showing only 1 core, 2 threads info in HWM Blackbox (CORE 2-4 ARE BLANK). Same info shows in CPU-Z.

Note, BD-PROC is disabled in bois.

Make sure that you are running the high-performance profile, as well as plugged in to the wall. I have heard that on battery the system will down-clock significantly. Also, the 798->1995 MHz indicates that the computer is not running TurboMode. Make sure that any relevant settings in the BIOS are enabled.
I am disturbed because I cannot break my system...found out there were others trying to cope! We have a support group on here, if your system will not break, please join!

Hi, (Thanks for the advice)
Just set up high performance mode and ran test again, same result?

Not sure how or were I would have to look or what to alter in the Bios to set or check turbo mode is on or off?

Laptop runs on mains power all the time.

Shouldnt cpuz show 4 cores and 8 threads instead of 1 core and 2 threads like it is now?

Also,
Windows detailed System info shows 1 core and 2 threads??

Have you messed with the Advanced Options in the Boot tab of MSConfig? (I had a similar issue to the one you're having)

I did have a mess around with it but was to stop duel boot setup. Is there something I can check in it to see if something is wrong?

Some cores can be put to sleep when they are not needed and the CPU ratio drops as well. This makes it possible to have a powerful CPU in a device which can run on battery for any reasonable amount of time. Honestly WEI is a *terrible* measure of performance so take everything it tells you with a grain of salt. Beyond being a general guideline for things you might want to examine more closely with better tools it is completely worthless.

I had an issue with mine that I'd accidentally set the wrong number of processors to 4 instead of 8. I'll attach a screenshot of what it looks like, though I have to remote to my Asus at home from my dinky netbook so excuse the poor quality 😛

No, that doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong.....that's what that window usually looks like by default. I.e., "Number of processor" is not checked, and the number "1" is greyed out in the drop-down box.

Yep, mine can have 8 maximum. The 1st thing I'd suggest is to back up your data, and do a re-install of Windows and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't the processor or motherboard could be bad (hopefully not that). If you open up Task Manager, and go to the Performance Tab. In the top-right area underneath CPU History, how many windows are there? Here's a screenshot of mine, so you know what to look for. If it's showing you only 1 processor in msconfig, there should be 1 window instead of the 8 I have.
