Yes, if your CPU will actually unlock. The board has SB710. SB710 and SB750 have the "unlock" ACC function.
If you look on the Asus website, it says right in the bios list that there is an unlocking mode. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?model=M4A785-M&SLanguage=en-us

It's easy. All you need to do is turn on "Unleashing Mode" in the bios. It will all be there in the manual, and in the link above.

I have that board and yes it has the "Unleashing Mode" and if your CPU will unlock then you will be able to run all cores.

You do know that unlocking the extra cores may not work, right?
Good luck, nonetheless. I was quite happy when I successfully unlocked my 4th core.

Yes, and the Asus' bios allows you to choose which core you want to unlock, which is really cool if only one has a deffect.

Up the voltage before you unlock it. I hope you didn't get a chip with 2 bad cores.

Wouldn't expect it to Shut down but rather just not unlock the core. Did you try it at it's default setting of -2% across the cores. You may have to increase or decrease to adjust stability per core.

IMO, if it didn't unlock I would leave it alone but the option is to adjust across the cores till you find your stable point. You can start at 0 and go up or down if he REALLY wants to unlock it.
