The computer restarts a few seconds later, however, as it is spinning back up, it just powers off, and I need to reset my BIOS in order to boot properly.

I also download the F2C BIOS, applied it with @BIOS and got the same result. I couldn't see any difference at all between F2 and F2C other than @BIOS telling me which version I have.

What would prevent me from booting after turning on hybrid firmware?
Copy the F2C to a USB drive and use the Q-Flash utility (hit F8 when powering up) and see if it works. Also turn OFF Cool 'n Quiet if you haven't done so. Here's a good thread to read:

Default 550 BE unlocked, only seeing two cores

OK, so I unlocked my 550 BE today, all went well on my UD3P board with the F2C bios. On post, it says I now have a Phenom X4 (awesome) and loads windows no problem. Once windows is started, device manager reports that I do indeed have 4 cores. But thats where the magic ends. Prime95, CPU-Z and task manager report only 2 cores. How can this be? Please help as I am unsure what the heck is going on here. Many thanks!

Gigabyte has posted a new BIOS for the UD3P ... F4 ... which has all unlocking settings still in place.
