Just upgraded my CPU to an i5 4570, after running Speccy to make sure everything was correct, it shows that I only have 2 cores and 2 threads when I should have 4 cores.

My motherboard is a Biostar B85S3+ FYI.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does it show all 4 cores in device manager?

It's still showing my previous CPU..

Would a fresh OS install help solve this?

I'm not sure, more than likely, can give it a try.

Reset your CMOS. I've heard that can be a problem. It'll refresh your whole MOBO and all the default info it had. Including RAM and CPU knowledge.
