Yeah, this was a few days ago, and the RAM has been RMA'd. I'm waiting on the replacement DIMMs to get here from Newegg. Are you saying you think it was just the RAM that caused the weird shutdown/behaviour? I notice you included a "save" between each setting change. I did both settings at once. Would that have caused the craziness? I wouldn't want ID10T error to screw up my parents' motherboard/CPU/RAM.Can't you take out the bad ram and try again? There's nothing stopping you, really.
Enable firmware to hybrid, save, enable ACC, save, and see if it worked.

Any thoughts on what might have caused the shutdown last time? I changed the settings you mentioned, and then hit F10. I waited a few seconds, while the firmware message flashed, and then the tower just shutdown completely. It was unresponsive to anything until I cleared the CMOS. Once it did come back up, it was very finicky and every few hours I'd get a BSOD. Just wondering what you think it might have been, so I can try to avoid that happening again. The new memory should be here in the next two days, so we'll see if my confidence is back up by then. LOL.
Let's just say they exist, and I have forgotten my [H] manners, eh?
Heh, not sure what that is, but if you must know, I'm a graphic designer, and I frequent a graphic design forum called Threadless. A lot of users there post comments/threads while at work, from their mobile devices, etc., and it seems to result in a non-stop stream of interactions. I'm not saying it's right, but that's how they operate around there. But out of curiosity, what is /b/?your from /b/ arn't you.
H. But out of curiosity, what is /b/?
Haha! Awesome! Yes, that's the one.Threadless? Like the site that does sells those awesome shirts? If so, cool. Have a few dozen of those shirts hanging in my closet now
Thanks, I do appreciate it. I would have thought that clearing the CMOS would have solved the problem, I guess. Shouldn't that "turn off" the faulty cores? Maybe it was just a coincidence that no problems showed up until after the unlock, and then after the unlock, real problems with the RAM started to present themselves? It sorta makes me nervous that I could never get the problems to stop.
Ah, thanks Deluded! As soon as the RAM gets here (jeez, get here, already), I think I'll have another go.When you enable ACC and restart, there should be another option in the ACC that says : Core Disabler or something to that effect. Then you're given a option to disable core #3 or core #2.
