are you 110% sure there isn't a bent pin on the cpu ?
Bent CPU pin? If there was a bent CPU pin it wouldnt be inside the socket.
yes it would and can , I have fixed quite a few systems which suffered strange results especially Bluescreen crashes where one or more pins on the CPU had been bent
I took out the CPU and replaced Thermal Paste. No bent pins.
Just hang tight for the TSF guys to finish up with their investigation on a software problem. Do what they say, and if they can't come up with anything, carry on with the hardware replacement.

Sure then ..
Atleast my BSOD's aren't frequent. Every 3 days or so, i guess that's an improvement somehow.
where this secondary processor problem come from, why and how?
I trying to find out how to solve this problem. It seems this problem is much more complicated when i orginally thought. is it to problem answer if is how to solved.
Could you try disabling UCC option in you Bios if it is enabled (your processor is AM2 socket processer)
This below is the excerpt from the Manual..
Quote:
Unlock CPU Core
UCC (Unlock CPU Core) feature simplifies AMD CPU activation. As long as a simple switch of the BIOS option “Unlock CPU Core”, you can unlock the extra CPU core to enjoy an instant performance boost. When UCC feature is enabled, the dual-core or triple-core CPU will boost to the quad-coreCPU, and some CPU, including quad-core CPU, can also increase L3 cache size up to 6MB, which means you can enjoy the upgrade CPU performance with a better price. Please be noted that UCC feature is supported with AM2+ / AM3 CPU only, and in addition, not every AM2+ / AM3 CPU can support this function because some CPU’s hidden core may be malfunctioned..
