Missing core.
Good day to all.The PC uses an AMD Phenom II x4 980 BE processor.
Recently I noticed that when I boot up my PC, three kernels began to be indicated instead of four.
A question for knowledgeable people, what could have happened to the missing core?
It decided to suicide, realizing that it was working in a miserable phenomenon)) Look in the BIOS settings if you have all the kernels turned on or if you have a lock at 3.

miserable, not miserable, but has not yet met the game that he would not pull at maximum speed, perhaps due to the video card it leaves.
The link did not solve the problem, it also shows three kernels there.
How and where can I find these kernels in the BIOS?

, it seems like I enabled all the kernels in the BIOS, when I start the PC on the start screen with information about the motherboard, it also shows 4 kernels, but in the task manager, CPU-Z and system configuration (msconfig) it shows 3 kernels.

I dare to assume that you overclocked the processor and killed this core. overclocking is used at your own peril and risk.
xs guys, it was so that when I started the PC, on the screen saver of the motherboard wrote that to unlock the cores, you must press a combination of two keys, I don't remember anymore. Once I pressed this combination. Since then, when the PC was booted, a picture of the kernel and a postscript next to it x4 were displayed. A year later, the same picture began to be displayed, only with the x3 postscript and only three cores were shown in the dispatcher.
