Help: My CPU isn't being recognized anymore
I just find it hard to believe that it can be the BIOS especially since for example Windows Task Manager is showing everything CPU-Z isn't showing currently, L1 to L3 cache, Socket, Cores, Threads and Virtualization and MSI Afterburner is getting the temp quite fine even now. Forgive my ignorance but I thought only reflashes during power loss is the only way to corrupt a BIOS. I can do the reflash and hope for now power loss but I'm very hesitant.
But if I reflash the BIOS and that doesn't help, what would be the next move you would suggest?
CPU-Z did have a problem reading cpu info at one point, are you using the latest cpu-z software? If Windows task manager reads fine, the problem is related to cpu-z.
Could be a corrupted file in registry. Probably a fresh install of Windows would fix it. You can freshinstall when windows 10 is released, I think the will offer cheap licenses in the beginning.
