If using Win 7

This seems like a somewhat common problem in Windows 7, the solution I've seen most often successful is:

1) Start > Msconfig
2) Boot Tab > Advanced Options
3) Manually Select 12 processors and reboot.

And just an FYI some people have said they don't have anything more then 4 cores as on option in the drop down box so Unchecking the number of processors box normally fixes the core issue after reboot.
