If the bios is not the problem boot in to windows and press the start button and click help and support.

Type "Selective startup" into Windows Help.

From the results choose Run selective startup using system configuration.

Click to open system configuration.

Click the Boot tab.

Click advanced options.

The box number of processors should be unticked and then click ok.

Then click apply and ok.

Now reboot

have ticked that box. i'm sure i thought i was doing
 something clever though.
