    Welcome to hardwareforums jrdigs :beer:

    bring up task manager and go to the performance chart, does it show one or two graphs for your CPU? if it shows 2 with activity on both then your fine, but, i believe windows configures itself to work with how many processors you have when your installing it so you might have to re-install windows to get both cores working.

    When you have done that you might also take a look at (free) SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

    It has two bars showing processor use (or 4 I'm guessing if you had a quad core) but also shows you all your temperatures, quite a niftly little lightweight app.
