Task Manager displaying old CPU?

Go to solution Solved by Ganz,

Have you updated chipset/chip set drivers?  Also, what does it say you are running if you boot into BIOS?

Same happened to me when i was using a vmware emulator and on school it had my pc cpu when there it was I5 2500. All i did was restart the operating system :P in the vm player, so id say maybe give a try in restarting the Task manager service, which i believe there is one and im pretty sure restarting explorer.exe wont work :D. O-O didnt even notice im at 501 posts

Was it the drivers or that you had the wrong CPU in?
