Hi ,
I owe an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard and have flashed it to the latest available BIOS. Recently i tried a q9550 E0 revision on the motherboard, but it doesn't support the processor. I tried flashing the older bios as well, but it didn't help. After trying a lot, i manage to boot my system.
But the booting occurs after 10-15 power cycle, incase of failure the POST code as shown on the motherboard appears as 87.
I did some reseach and found that the error code is mainly due to the unsupported processor and motherboard.
Is it possible to add the microcode of Q9550 E0 revision, to my motherboard BIOS? Will it solve my problem?
Here is the link of the BIOS that i am using currently

I have no idea where to look for the microcode of Q9550 E0 revision, but here is its official page. Please note that compatibility of processor varies with revision E0 / C0
