I have my cpu at stock settings and was able to successfully unlock my fourth core. It tested stable for 2 hours of prime95 but the wierdest thing happens at the end of youtube videos. I have no idea what could be causing this, here is a picture-

Again everything runs stable but this just concerns me to see this kind of artifacting. Is it safe to run it like this or should I lock the core back up.

system-
MA785GM-US2H motherboard
AMD 435 X3 RANA CPU
2.5gb ddr2 667 ram
500gb hard drive
9600gt OC edition
 
Solution
When you unlocked it, did you also overclock? If so, make sure the PCI buss is locked to 100MHz, not rising with your OC.

Good call, set it to 100MHz in BIOS and everything is fine now, no more artifacting.
Thank you so much jtt283
