Its reported that a fixed DSDT can help solve panics with Quad Cores. Its just like a file inside the BIOS that contains info about the hardware.
To fix it you would have to extract it from the BIOS, replace it with a fixed one for all cores working and reflash it to the BIOS.
Alternatively you can use a bootloader with DSDT override like Chameleon2, it will let you do the same without risky BIOS reflashing, it just uses a file in the HD as the DSDT table instead of the one from the BIOS, the results are the same. Keep in mind the DSDT is BIOS-specific, up the point it can be different even for same BIOS with a different version (i.e. motherboard x BIOS v1.0 to v1.1).
You should be able to upgrade most bootloaders to Chameleon2 without troubles.
