| | Maybe the task manager window is too small to show 6 cores? Have you tried making the window larger? |

| | Seems like your processor is defective and it's only running on 5 of the cores. You might need to contact AMD or your supplier for assistance with this issue or get the chip RMA'd. |

| | Okay I found a solution to my problem. CPU configuration in the BIOS allows you to enable ALL or 1 thru 6 of the cores. It was that simple.  |
