    Hey guys,

    As in title, the computer only seems to run on one core. Bios is updated to latest version. Here's the computer:

    ---------------****

    Operating System
    Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3

    CPU
    AMD Phenom II X2 555 33 °C
    Callisto 45nm Technology

    RAM
    4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz (9-9-9-24)

    Motherboard
    Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-78LMT-S2P (Version 3.1) 36 °C

    Graphics
    VA1912wSERIES (1440x900@60Hz)
    ATI AMD 760G (Gigabyte)

    ---------------****

    I tried playing with settings in Bios, including unlocking the CPU so you could see the four cores in the Bios. The PC then recognised the processor as Phenom II x4 555 (both Speccy & CPU-Z confirm this), but still only sees and uses one core.

    Any thoughts?
