I can get the BIOS to say "Phenom II X4 B50" and it will get past the "Windows was not shut down properly screen" but it won't show the Windows green loading bar, it just hangs at the blank black screen. Has anyone else had luck with this batch?
So here's an update:

After messing around with more and more settings in my BIOS, I still can't get my computer to go to the green loading Windows bar, it just stops after the "Windows was not properly shutdown" screen. I was also told on another forum that I could boot into Safe Mode, uninstall the CPU, then boot into Windows normally. Well when I try to do that, my computer hangs at the screen when Windows is loading the system files, specifically right after it loads crcdisk.sys (IIRC). Do you guys think my OS could be corrupt and is holding me back from unlocking the other two cores?
