Windows 7 reporting wrong CPU and RAM

[darksoulvv]

I thought my motherboard was out after I couldnt get it to start. So I put my hard drive into another machine, activated Windows and everything was good. Then realized what was wrong with my MB was the cat had chewed through a cable connected to the front usb which was causing a fault. So removed it and MB was back. So put my hard drive back in the original MB and now Windows 7 is seeing the wrong CPU and Ram. The original compueter has an I5 and the one I put my HD in was an I3. Now Windows only sees the I3, not the I5. I have formatted, reset CMOS, updated BIOS, nothing has worked. Even took the CPU of the old board and put in on the other one and still nothing changed. How in the world do I get Windows 7 to see the right hardware!

You`ve re installed windows and the system still does not see the i5 ?

Have you checked your bios to see if the bios is detecting the correct hardware? If not; look in there and see what it reports.

Reinstalled Windows and checked the BIOS. Bios shows I3 when it is an I5. Even flashed the BIOS, reset CMOS, formated, removed the CPU and put it on another board, still everything still shows I3. Its the weirdest thing!
