    Yeah I tried but still the same. At least I can run it on the one core until I get a new PC.

    Is there any possibility that there could be a fault in the power supply and it can’t supply enough power to the CPU when all cores are enabled?
    I’m not getting my hopes up!

      I was going to suggest that you ask around to see if you can borrow a known good 500W Bronze efficiency rated PSU to swap in and test with, this with only the onboard video an no add on GPU in the board, if the problem still persists the MB is the most likely culprit as under normal use a CPU is less likely to fail than a MB is.

      Other than the above we are stuck as we can`t test your CPU without having all four cores enabled
