This is what i see when i look at "your computers" for me:
GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz [Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5]
(2 processors)
This is what i see when i look ay "my computers" for someone else:
GenuineIntel
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5]
(8 processors)
This is what CPU-Z shows me:
Processor 1 ID = 0
Number of cores 1 (max 8)
Number of threads 2 (max 16)
Name Intel Core i7 920
Codename Bloomfield
Specification Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
Package (platform ID) Socket 1366 LGA (0x1)
CPUID 6.A.5
Extended CPUID 6.1A
Core Stepping D0
Technology 45 nm
Core Speed 2668.8 MHz
Multiplier x FSB 20.0 x 133.4 MHz
Rated Bus speed 2401.9 MHz
Stock frequency 2666 MHz
Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, EM64T, VT-x
L1 Data cache 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
L1 Instruction cache 32 KBytes, 4-way set associative, 64-byte line size
L2 cache 256 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size
L3 cache 8 MBytes, 16-way set associative, 64-byte line size
FID/VID Control yes
It's as if 3 of the cores are dead or turned off. i am not aware of
changing any settings that might have caused this..
Any suggestions will be welcomed as i am puzzled.
note: being puzzled does not make this a special day.

Does anything in http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-support/35801-i7-920-showing-only-one-core.html help?

Its possible that some how you have restricted the cores used in either the bios or windows. Reboot and enter the bios settings and see if one of the options in there is causing the problem.
If the bios is not the problem boot in to windows and press the start button and click help and support.
Type "Selective startup" into Windows Help.
From the results choose Run selective startup using system configuration.
Click to open system configuration.
Click the Boot tab.
Click advanced options.
The box number of processors should be unticked and then click ok.
Then click apply and ok.
Now reboot

Nowhere in his post did the OP mention what version of Windows he's running. So perhaps that would be interesting info to add to take away any uncertainties.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64, Intel core i7 920
12 gigs tri channel DDR3
Asus P6TD Deluxe Mobo
GTX 460 and GTS 250
i should have included this last night but was very tired.
i will try these suggestion after work this evening and
report back.

Hi TouchuvGrey,
You can download latest CPUZ (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html) or AIDA64 (http://www.aida64.com/) to see what your CPU has.

Iis there something more from cpu-z that
i should have included in my original post ?

That was it. i can't for the life of me think why i might
have ticked that box. i'm sure i thought i was doing
something clever though.

Ahhh, the old banana-fingers problem. I do that.
