A fool I have been. I enabled all 4 cores.. restarted PC had blue screen . Now startup repair keeps popping up. Can't go into safe mode ECT...

I went into my msi bois. To disable four cores but it doesn't have the option.

One core per processor
One core per processor ( cores 2 only
One compute unit ( core 2 & 3 )
One compute unit ( core 0 & 1 )
One core per compute unit core 0 & 2

I can't come across anything. I haven't got a windows 7 disc . Cause I bought it already installed
 
Solution
If a CPU can't work with all cores enabled, it is faulty and needs to be replaced.
If you have no cores running, your computer will not work, obviously.

From the sounds of it you are a rookie at the BIOS stuff, and are a bit confused.
Perhaps what you have done is accidentally overclocked something without realising.
In this case, I suggest resetting the BIOS.
This can be done using a switch or jumper (details should be in motherboard booklet), or removing the silver button battery for 30 or more seconds.

Older computers have a habit of resetting so they do not boot off the right hard drive, and put all fans to 100%.
This can be fixed by changing the boot devices in the boot section of the BIOS.

Fans usually have a menu for the cooling mode, the best setting is something like 'Optimal', which varies fan speed based on temperature.
 
Solution
You should be able to set the BIOS to defaults. If the BIOS has an option to reset defaults, use that. It will require removing the BIOS backup battery and/or changing a jumper on the motherboard and then changing back if you don't have a BIOS option.

Your motherboard documentation should show you how to do it if it is on a desktop machine. You may need to take the machine apart somewhat and a technical repair manual for a laptop.

If you're not comfortable doing this, take it to a shop.
