Do you mean an Athlon II X2 240 instead of an X2 420? The 4xx CPUs were tri-core not dual core. Please tell us about the rest of your system. Is this a box store computer like an HP, Gateway, or Dell or is it a custom made computer? If it's a box store computer, foget about trying to overclock it since the manufacturer has purposely limited the bios to prevent this. If it is a custom computer, please give us info about the make and model of the other components such as motherboard, ram, CPU cooler, PSU and video card.

The Asus M-series of motherboards support a "core unlocker" to fix that tri core incident.
