Asus G50VT upgrade help!
Hey guys, my wife and I both have Asus G50VT gaming laptops. I'm upgrading them from Vista 64bit to Windows 7 64bit. We both wanted better performance for playing games like World of Warcraft and Diablo 3. I updated hers first, everything went smoothly with the install, reinstalled all the drivers and now she is happy playing WoW smoother and faster than before.
Mine on the other hand, despite being the same exact model is not going too well. Installation of windows 7 went fine. Downloaded the drivers again and loaded up Diablo 3. Right off the bat i noticed it was struggling to run it at all, graphics were lagging, tearing jumping. I noticed on my information center that the RAM usage was normal but on the CPU usage it just sets on 0%. Like it is only running off of one processor. Has anyone ran into this or know of a way to make sure it is running both processors? Under device manager it lists both processors and the drivers are up to date, i even uninstalled the processors and rebooted the system so windows would find and install them. Will running msconfig as administrator help? I went under boot and the box was not checked and the pull down menu for "number of processors" showed 1. I checked the box and set the number of processors to 2. Does that only affect when the machine is booting up? My CPU usage still sits at 0%
Any help would be much appreciated!
