Sometimes core unlocking won't work because those cores that you unlocked aren't really meant to be unlocked because many times they are defective. I had an Athlon II x 3 core CPU a while ago and it could be unlocked it to a phenom with 4 cores and 6MB of l3 cache, it worked the first time I did it though it was a little unstable, then I switched back to 3 cores and after a while I wanted 4 cores so I tried to unlock it again but then the whole system just kept on rebooting so I turned the original 3 cores on and it worked flawlessly.

Dude, exactly what CPU do you have? Your MB might support core unlocking and your CPU might be unlockable but that doesn't mean it can be unlocked successfully, unlocking only works sometimes for some lucky people that get a CPU where the "extra" cores are functional and stable.

I am now pretty sure the CPU is the problem or rather, the unlocking of it which you shouldn't be doing.
