DELL Inspiron 518 & Xeon 5400 Series
#1
Hi guys. I'm at the end of my rope here trying to insert xeon microcodes in the Dell Inspiron 518's bios.

Ok to cap this off; I have installed the X5450 in the Inspiron 518, and the system boots and runs fine. The problem I am running into is the lack of SSE4.1, Compare Exchange128, and VT-X instructions.

To regain these instructions, I need to slip the Microcode into the bios and flash. I can not get the Dell.exe bios to give up the rom file. Which leads me to the bios guru's here. I have seen some amazing work from you guys so if you guys can't bag this one, I feel that this project will be going to the pooper lol.

Tonight when I get home from work I will put in more details that are required to work on the bios but for now here is some of the info that you guys require.

-bios link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R215480

-whats happens: The system lacks additional instructions common to lga 771 to 775 modification. Desperately need compare exchange128 for windows 10 upgrade

-screenshot from aida64>motherboard>cpuid
Working on providing screenshot from cpuz; Motherboard DG33M04; Cpu- X5450 - SLBBE - EO Stepping
-CPU spec code

As I said, tonight I will put in more info as you guys require.

Thanks guys.

**Edit**

Uploaded Pics from Aida64 for Motherboard & Bios.

What's your operating system now?
Post a screenshot of regedit with expanded key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0.

Hey DeathBringer. Upon running Win Flash as admin I receive an error. "Command line parameter incorrect".

Did you want to take a look at that or should I try to flash this some other way?

Also I forgot to tell you that I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. Last night you asked and I failed to get back to you on that.

Thanks man for the work. You are rocking out these forums Smile

1. Unpack all files to c:\bios
2. Run cmd with admin rights.
3. Do in command line:
cd c:\bios
WinFlash 7C1D1P29.BIN
