I've been using CoreTemp for about 18 months now.
Last Sunday, for some reasons I experienced several power cuts at home, and my PC was violently shut down several times.
Win10 x64 recovered nicely, but ... now CoreTemp 1.8.1 reports silly things about my CPU.
Here is the header part of log before the incidents: CPU is identified as ,Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (Yorkfield)

*************************************************************
As one can see, before and after the cuts, CoreTemp identifies CPU with the same ID: CPUID:,0x10677, but then features and number of cores are different.
Accordingly, both CoreTemp 1.8.1 and CoreTemp Grapher Beta 1.2 show data about only two cores.
Is it an issue about some CoreTemp file being corrupt? But I can't see any such file...
Is it my motherboard's flash memory containing wrong data? (it seems RealTime Clock's battery has to be changed)
Is it some settings deactivated in Win10 Pro x64? (I've read some posts in the forum about such capability, however I don't know where it can be set)
What do you think about that?
In what direction do you advice me to search?
Thanks in advance for any reply,
Seagram
