may i suggest a reflash and a nice CMOS clear? then try your hand again. you may have a dud, or maybe something funky is stuck in somewhere that needs to be purged.

as an example,
when i first got the cpu in, i was trying to stabilise 2.6ghz nb and was jacking the volts up towards 1.28v. things started acting quite wierd. occt would only see 3 cores at launch and it was unstable. even after dropping the voltage and the nb, it was still unstable. had to 'killcmos' and then reflash to get it back (an alternate would be to reflash twice via the provided .bat file in the .zip and then clear cmos with the jumper (but it's a pain to do! (i miss ez-clear from the 790fx-m2r))).

good luck.
