Okay, BIOS update got it booting properly, but applications and services still fail on start-up. Any ideas, anyone?
I'd rather not drive out there and re-install the OS. Trying to save that as a last resort option. Christopher J.

I've never had any edition of Windows care about such a change. If it fully boots part of the time I would hazard a guess that the PSU isn't beefy enough for a quad-core CPU. Since it boots part of the with the quad-core CPU motherboard compatibility shouldn't be an issue, but you may want to look into BIOS updates. Christopher J. Bosak wrote: > Okay.
