Acer Veriton M480 (G43T-AM4) and Core 2 Quad Q8400

[xenocara]

Hi.

I recently bought an Acer Veriton motherboard model G43T-AM4 and an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400. When I put the processor into the motherboard it wont show the BIOS screen and one long beep from the speaker. I have tested the board using few processors and the results are:

1. Core 2 Duo E4500: Boot without problem.
   
2. Core 2 Duo E7400: No display, one long beep (same as the Q8400).
   
3. Pentium Dual Core E5800: Boot without problem.
   

So for the summary, I need help to add support for Q8400 into the motherboard.

I attached the BIOS image from the motherboard using Universal BIOS Backup Toolkit 2.0, screenshot of CPU-Z about the motherboard and the current processor I use.

Thank you.

This motherboard has native support of Q8400 and E7400

So check your motherboard for hardware faults.
