There seems to be an issue with only six cores being active. You attempted a fix in the BIOS, but it didn't allow selecting more than twelve cores.
I resolved it by resetting the Ryzen master software to its default settings. It seems unusual, but it could be worth checking if you encounter the same issue again.
I understand this discussion is from a previous post, but I’m curious if you’ll notice my earlier remarks. Perhaps I can start fresh when I’m back. I’ve been experiencing the same problems with my 3900x—only six cores are visible in Task Manager and Ryzen Master, while all 24 appear in Device Manager. The system is becoming increasingly unstable lately, with random reboots, WHEA errors, and kernel power failures. Sometimes it won’t even boot Windows properly after a fresh install because it can’t locate the main boot files. I’ve already sent in a return merchandise authorization for my RAM, M.2 drive, and motherboard, though they’ve all been returned. The issue persists despite a BIOS reset to defaults. My 3600 is running fine on another machine with the 3600, so it’s not the hardware there. I realized the core count mismatch last night and swapped in the 3600, but instability remains. Could you tell me what part of the Ryzen software might be causing this? Have you faced similar problems before? I’m not sure if my 3600 displays only half the cores, but I’ll check that once I’m home. Appreciate your help.
