Are you sure it's a real 3770? Not an engineering sample or anything like that? If you reset the bios either by removing the battery and removing all power or by resetting all settings to optimal defaults it should then work correctly. If not you might possibly have an ES CPU or a bad chip. Or maybe you might need a bios update. There are lots of things that can cause the problem.
