CPU Sometimes Only 1 of the 2 cores is shown to be working in Htop.

Hi Guys I made a video showing something I found weird.  I know this is the linux lite forums, and it is currently the Linux distro I'm using.  But in the videos I had to bring up two other distros to make the point.  I'm not sure how to search for this issues.  That's why I'm posting it this way. 

They are about how sometimes it appears that I loose one half of my processor.  It happened under Manjaro xfce, never happened under Mint Xfce.  And now that I switched to Linux lite 2.6 xfce, it's happening again.  If you guys know anything about this, please let me know.

Jerry thank you for looking that up for me.  That is really weird.  I don't think that is causing my issue.  If it was then why didn't I have the same issue under Mint?  Don't make sense.  As far as I can tell the kernels are the same...  BTW currently the meters on both sides of the CPU is working.  (((shruggs))  I didn't change anything other than just reboot.  Yesterday.  (((shruggs)))

There are many differences between distros, even if a lot of the software is the same, it's complicated. Run an application that requires a lot of cpu, if it uses both cores, then your pc is functioning correctly.
