Right click the graph, go to change graph to, then logical processors.

 

Just took a closer look. Something's definitely fucked. try clearing CMOS?

cpu-z sees 2 cores?

 

Just noticed in that screenshot, and the first one. You have an A4-6300, not an FX-6300. The A4-6300 is a "dual core" CPU (Two cores in one physical module, which is why Task Manager shows 1 core but 2 logical processors.)

Indeed, it is. I became suspicious about the fx 6300 once I saw that he's also using a fm2-mainboard - so something was obviously wrong.

The A4-6300 is an 2-core (1 Module) cpu with integrated gpu, quite nice for htpc/mediacenter. Not so demanding/older games will also run. Other than that, browsing and office should run fine as well but that's about it.

Your 100% utilization is probably due to tasks that are scanning and indexing your system.
