    HWiNFO 64 was running in the background.
    I unchecked "Number of Processors" in msconfig and all of my cores are showing, and everything is fine and dandy. New scores: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3748030

    It is normal for the Sager logo to appear twice; it's happening to me and my system is fine.

    Just different stages of the bootup with drive detection in the middle.

    Follow the guide in my signature, go at the end there's a tweaks section. Try to unpark your cores and maybe try other tweaks as well.

    I'm pretty sure it's drive detection as I have a HDD in a caddy as well as an SSD. Thank you, guys!
    @Kingpinzero, I got it fixed by unchecking "Number of Processors" in msconfig. My new scores are posted above.


    It's 1600Mhz dual channel, so each stick runs at 800Mhz.
