Guys, it's been 2 days since I unlocked my 4-th core in my Phenom II X3 710 processor and everything worked just perfect under windows 7 64 Ultimate. The system was perfectly stable, I had my BIOS flashed to 2005 version (on my ASUS M4A77TD PRO mobo).
Yesterday, I bought a SSD disk, namely the A-Data 592 32GB SSD and plugged it in. I had some problems trying to get the BIOS to recognize it. I managed to do that and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on it. I also have my HDD 320GB HITACHI as a secondary drive to keep my music in (got about 220gb of music). And everything was perfect, after each restart the system boot up nicely.
But...yesterday I finally shut down the PC for the first time after I had my SSD installed. And today, as I turned it on, the BIOS didnt recognize my SSD that I was using the day before. I played around with the cables in the case, but there was no problem whatsoever (I switched cables with the HDD and everything worked). As a last resort, I turned off the 4-th core in my CPU and....surprise! The SSD was recognized again by the BIOS. Every time I turn on the 4-th core, the BIOS forgets about my SSD and doesent find it. With the 4-th core turned off, everything is normal. And this happens ONLY when I power off the PC. When I restart with the 4-th core turned on, the SSD is working fine.
What could possibly be the problem? Some crazy BIOS fault maybe? The CPU is perfectly stable at all 4 cores running...Please, help me out guys!
