Amd sempron 140 unlocking

[afx2]

So I have a gigabyte Ga Ma770t ud3p motherboard with f2c bios and can't seem to get the cpu to unlock correctly. I did it once the first time i installed Xp professional and it booted perfectly but I chose to lock it back up for some reason and now it wont boot as a dual core anymore. Any ideas? I did the Acc enabled and hybrid enabled with the bios and comes up as an athlon x2 4400be in the startup screen.

I use coretemp, a free download to monitor cpu temps. If 2 temp readings appear on the lower right tab bar, then both cores are working. If the system is unstable with both cores, then bump up the cpu voltage by .1 volts and try unlocking again.

going from single core to dual core in xp usually requires a reinstall.

I did try an install, but when the time came to reach the colorful gui, where you type in the windows key, it wouldn't load into it. Not sure how i did it the first time...
