Task manager and CPU-Z show that my Intel Core i3-4150 only has one core and two threads. When it should be two and four. The only program I have used that might have impacted this is VirtualBox (I have restarted the PC since using it).

What are some of the possible solutions for fixing this?

Newer Intel CPU's support Core Parking, which effectively stops some cores to safe energy if they are not needed. Try to start up a few more programs and observe if the other Core gets activated. If this does not help, try to set Window's Power Plan Settings to High Performance. This should also disable the parking.

Update: After running the bios it seems to have automatically fixed it. Didn't even need to flash the motherboard.Thanks for the help.
