Had same problem with my mom's boyfriend's computer. He was using E4600 and a fresh install of Windows fixed the problem. I don't think there is any other way to fix it, but when you do a major upgrade like that you reinstall your OS anyways.

Make sure you're using the latest BIOS build for your motherboard.

Check out your BIOS settings then, maybe something is wrong there.

went through everything in bios saw nothing to lead me to believe that cores could be enabled/disabled

I have have found the solution: I enabled hyper-threading technology and spread spectrum control and that cured the issue. Happily running my Q9300 2.5Ghz @ 3.19Gghz stable.
