Hello I have succesfully modded an LGA 775 socket and threw in Xeon processor. I is booting up but there are some instability issues.
I am getting a boot error message "Unknown CPU detected. BIOS update is required to unleash its full power" yet I already have the latest BIOS. I am also gettting occasional BSODs saying "try disabling memory functions such as caching and shadowing in the BIOS or remove recently installed hardware".
I also noticed that Intel Speed Step technology is not working. (If I try enabling it, computer will not boot and I must clear CMOS).
I was told that to fix this I must get a modded bios with microcode for my new xeon processor and microcode for my old LGA 775 processor (just for safety).
I am requesting a modded BIOS so I can hopefully recover functionality of intel speed step and also reduce the BSODs.
ASUS P5N-D BIOS 1401
Windows 7 64bit --->> http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5ND/#support (this is as direct a link as I could find, sorry)
I upgraded from Intel® Celeron® Processor 420 (512K Cache, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) SL9XP Malay
to a Intel Xeon X5450 3.0 GHz quad core Socket 771 server CPU SLASB 12M/1333 64-bit, 120W, C0 stepping and "Harpertown" core
Can somebody please help me create a modded BIOS? So that my computer is more stable?
I would also appreciate if somebody could give me suggestions of optimal BIOS settings. Thanks!
I do not own a copy of AIDA 64 so I cant provide that screenshot at the moment, but I am sure I can provide more info via other software if needed (such as cpu z).
Please let me know if anybody can help me?
