So I restored using the F9 feature, back to settings. then updated the BIOS from 202 to 203 successfully... booted into windows fine. Managed to get online and post this, so it's ok. But the Error message is still coming up at boot up. I guess an RMA? This doesn't really affect my work, but I'm just worred if it will give me problems in the future, or I just don't want no error msges. Thank you for all of your help.

Ok yeah I just tried that also, but still no change. AIDA64 still reads two core temps. Weird though, first time use it had 4, but now only 2. It's a new laptop too, not even a month old. I’ve been getting “Error sending end of post message to ME†messages at start up. So I’m thinking that’s why the Date, desktop arrangements, are never saved, and are always changed when rebooting too... I don't know if this could be part of it. Thanks.

Ok I'll try to update the BIOS. When I get into the BIOS settings right now... it doesn't give me enough options, nothing about settings of cores. So maybe a BIOS update... I hear it's always risky. I'll read on how, and give it a try.

Hmm, BIOS setup doesn't show anything about enabling cores, maybe BIOS update eh?

I did all my driver updates to my new ASUS G73JW A1. AIDA64 can only show me 2 cores in the sensor menu, and sidebar gadget. It showed me 4 core temp readings when I first installed... but now it shows only 2, even after AIDA64 re-install. cpu : QuadCore Intel Core i7 840QM Duno if these would help...
