is it common for one of 2 cores to die?
my dad said his laptop (my old sony vaio sz 320) died. it had a Intel Core Duo T2400. i reinstalled windows 7. decided to check on the number of cores as it was slower than usual. task manager says 1. went to msconfig.... said only 1 core available. bootup screen said only single core. can't go into bios as sony restricts this.
are there any other avenues i can explore to set this to its actual dual core?
