How do I disable hyperthreading?

When in BIOS, the hyperthreading option shows 'enabled' but I cannot change it. (Gateway 508GE - BIOS AG915 10 J.15A.o816.2005.0214.1818)

    It's just something that I want to try because this computer has given me endless booting problems. For no apparent reason, every 3 or 4 weeks, when I start up, I get a blue screen telling me that Windows could not start because this or that file was corrupt. I only use this machine for light office work and e-mail - no games. So I just wanted to turn off hyperthreading to see if this would help.

Hyperthreading is good. Why would you want to turn it off?

    As far as I can tell, hyperthreading on this particular unit stinks! I'm disabling it as we speak!

    My IE thrashes away at one thread, while the other sits lifeless - my fans sound like a jet engine, and the one IE running slows to a crawl.

    My Dell? HT totally rocks.
