Unlocking Dormant Cores

[Dracoth]

Hi there I just want double confirmation that I am doing everything right and that the dormant cores are actually busted.

I have a GA-M720-US3 Motherboard with F6 Bios
AMD Phenom II Black Edition 555 6 MB cache

Asaka Vemon Heat sink.

I have gone into Adv core calibration Set that to Auto The cores that show 2% on all the cores (4)

After attempting this I saved BIOs and restarted comp it gets half way through loading windows before blue screen of death.

I have also given it a try with increasing the voltage to the CPU 0.25 and 0.5 (sorry if not correct in the dessimal point (cant see the bios atm) and again half way through windows i get blue screen.

Is there any other things I can try or should I give up now and focus on just over clocking it.

Thanks for reading

I think you should give up, those cores are definitely faulty and locked for a reason (sadly).

Have you tried just unlocking 3 cores? That could work.

To unlock 3 cores I go per core and put that to 2%? and leave one out every time? Also would I have to adjust the voltage again?

Thanks for looking and the help so far.

yes iwould do it that way,keep speeds at stock and slight voltage increase
