Unfortunately the BIOS on this machine doesnt have any settings like that. The closest I could find was MPS 1.4, which I thought stood for MultiProcessor Spec version 1.4. I tried disabling that, made no difference. Other than that its just the usual Plug&Play type stuff (I've tried those combinations as well. No luck). Any other ideas, or anyone else?
