@ techfreak bro i did what you said but in the Advanced option i'm not getting the option to select more than 1 CPU....:(....i think its some other problem because earlier 4 CPU's selection option was available here...because i used to toggle my CPU's between 1 and 2 to see performance differences.........and it never created this sort of problem...............

i also overclocked my CPU just by increasing the FSB from 200 to 230(no multiplier changes) on my gigabyte G-410MES2L mobo....could that be a problem???? and yes the vcore is stable @ 1.248

Just reset the CMOS, and then set the affinity to 2 using MSCONFIG. Also, OP, how can you get "4" option. Yours is a classic dual core, with not HT.

Under Advanced Bios settings look for an option called CPU Multi-Threading and make sure it's enabled.

Enter BIOS, go to Exit tab and choose "Set BIOS defaults" (Something like that). Save and exit and then check again.

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 775 - GA-G41M-ES2L (rev. 1.0)

and i mean to say that under Advanced BIOS option there is no option of multithreading

The Option is still there but the reason you can't get it may be there's some issue with the CPU.

CPU Multi-Threading

Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores and multi-threading function when using an Intel ® CPU that supports multi-core technology. This feature only works for operating systems that support multi-processor mode.

Enabled Enables all CPU cores and multi-threading capability. (Default)
Disabled Enables only one CPU core.

(Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about Intel CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website.

Ask the customer care and try to get a replacement if it's still under warranty.
