I would try to explore the idea that the CPU or motherboard is defective. Perhaps the second core is bad.
I had a problem with memory sticks that was similar. One stick worked and not two. I first found that
there was a bad memory stick ( 1 out of 2). then after replacing it, it happened again and it needed a
bios upgrade of the motherboard to work. I used memtest96+ to diagnose my problems.
Perhaps you can find a testing software for the dual core cpu from your cpu or motherboard vendor....
