Intel DG41RQ microcode update

August 26, 2016, 11:13 am

My dump of the BIOS chip: 
.bin   Intel DG41RQ BIOS chip dump.bin (Size: 1 MB / Downloads: 0)


.png   DG41RQ Aida64.png (Size: 348.69 KB / Downloads: 2)
My Aida64 screenshot. This screenshot is from my current setup with a 775 CPU, so I'm not sure if it's of much use.

Current problems: I'm trying to use a 771 CPU with it. It POSTs fine, but 64-bit Windows will not boot. 32-bit Windows boots, and Linux seems fine. Also, if a "restart" command is issued from anywhere, either from Windows, Linux, or even the BIOS setup, it'll reboot into nothing, forcing me to do a hard reset.

CPU spec code: SLBBR (I also tested it with a SLBBM, same problems)

Potential donor BIOS: ASUS P5G41T-M LX2/GB (same chipset, and it has the latest 771 microcode)


I guess this is an issue of "CMPXCHG16b / CompareExchange128 not being supported". The microcode in the BIOS is from 2008, so I thought updating it to the latest stuff might help. Delidded's guide said that "Intel may be using a secure checksum to prevent people from modifying [their BIOSs]", but I gave it a shot anyway with donovan6000's Insyde BIOS guide.

I updated the microsode in Intel's provided BIO file as described in that guide, but as semi-expected, none of the official BIOS flashing utilities accepted my mod. So I bought a CH341A programmer and SOP-8 test clips to interface with the BIOS chip directly, to bypass the official tools. I quickly found that, whoops, the BIOS chip is a standrd 8 megabit/1 MB thing, but Intel's BIO file was over 3 MB--it had a bunch of other stuff going on with it. I was messing with the wrong file.

So I took the 1 MB dump and tried to modify that with the same procedure, but I guess the BIOS is all compressed? The microcodes are there, but where I was expecting headers like:

01 00 00 00 07 0A 00 00 08 20 09 04 7A 06 01 00

I instead found:

00 68 00 00 E0 00 EB 4C 81 7D F8 7A 06 01 00 72

Which is not obviously updatable, at least not with donovan6000's guide.

So that's where I am right now. We need some way to "decompress" my dump so the microcode can be easily updated, or we need an alternative way to update it directly. Don't know if that's possible, but I figured it was worth an ask! Thanks!

[Request] Dell Precision A15 BIOS Unlock/Whitelist device GTX880M GPU

Hey guys, so I got a Dell Precision M6600 Workstation that has an on and off faulty GPU. So, I ended up buying a GTX880M GPU to replace it. The problem is apparently the GTX880M is not supported, shows as Unknown Device in Bios but gives the correct amount of ram (8gb). The machine posts and attempts to load windows 10 (win logo appears but nothing else happens) it just freezes to which point I have to restart. So, Windows 10 does not boot at all.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but this would be a BIOS problem correct? (Reason why I'm wanting to mod BIOS)

I appreciate any and all help to try and figure this out!

Adding Core 2 Quad Q9505 support to a Duo motherboard (Intel 945GC chipset)

August 27, 2016, 3:59 pm

So the motherboard version I have is a Gigabyte 945GCM-S2C, LGA 775.

The bios is here http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product...=2668#bios .

The only version I have tried to mod is the f4 version. I added micro code to the bios by following this guide http://www.delidded.com/how-to-update-cp...enix-bios/ . The results I had were sort of successful, but it would freeze at the bios screen. It recognized the processor (Q9505) but nothing else. So, I tried flashing it the way you guys recommended with your utilities to see if I had more luck, but got a flashing message where it couldn't find the bios. Anyway, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask you all if I was on the right or wrong track so if there is any more information you need be sure to let me know. (The attachment is the micro code I used)

Updating BIOS from Legacy to UEFI

I'm relatively new to working on the BIOS but was told something yesterday that I have some serious doubts about.

The BIOS in question is an AMI v7.16 on a Pegatron 2ACD mainboard. It is set for Legacy mode with no way currently of putting it into UEFI.

I was told that a firmware update from AMI or Pegatron should fix this.

Is this even possible?

Hello, the problem started when i changed the IGD - pre-allocated memory using "setup_var" through EFI Shell to 256 mb everything worked great, on adapter properties was saying that i have 224 mb dedicated video memory but it was eating from RAM it was 3.70 gb available then i decided to change to 1024 mb the IGD when i rebooted boot screen was full of colored lines except the windows loading circle, nothing wrong except that, the windows started and the dedicted video memory was 0 mb, and then i sad let's change it to 512 mb, i rebooted and then it started to sound like a radio that is not on the right frequency and the screen has backlights on but nothing more just strange sound and black image i tried to clear CMOS by removing the CR2032 but that doesn't solve the problem then i tried with the JRST2001, JRST2002 and JRST2025 but it doesn't solve the problem, i tried also with a usb stick with different bios file names in the phoenix/insyde tool it says that FX64.FD is the recovery file name , i tried with different keystrokes like Win + B, Fn + B, Fn + F, Fn + Esc nothing works, so i will happy if anybody would help me i attached my bios in case, my laptop is a Satellite C850-1G6.

Acer v3-772g InsydeH2O bios bricked. Recovery doesn't work

Hi folks,
I've been trying to make Pci passthrough happen on my device, so I was playing around in the Advanced Tab of my modded bios. I don't remember which options I changed (I think i was messing with chipset options) but, now I don't have display on my screen.
When I press the power button, computer starts, fan starts spinning, and hdd busy led flashes for a second like a normal bootup. Even AC power jack beep works. But I have no display. Tried hdmi, but it's same.
I have also tried clearing cmos by removing cmos battery, waiting for 10-20minutes; tried bios recovery with fn+esc key combination with no luck. Usb recovery method worked before when I was trying to mod my bios. Used same usb flash to recover before but this time with no luck.
Removed all HDDs, pci wlan card, ram. Tried with different ram module. No display...

Similar thing happened before when I disabled the Optimus option. But that time, clearing cmos did the trick. I'm certain I didn't play with optimus this time butchanged a lot of pci-e options.

What should I do? Any suggestions apreciated.
Sorry for bad grammar.
