		Hello,
I have a Foxconn G31MV board, and bought a cheap Xeon L5420 CPU as an upgrade today. I did the necessary BIOS microcode modification and flashed the new BIOS, but I keep getting the following error after mounting the new CPU:
Warning !!!
This motherboard only supports low power energy-saving CPUs (less than 65W).
Your current CPU is not supported, and the system will shut-down soon.
Please visit Foxconn support website for supported CPU information.
The thing is, L5420's TDP is stated as 50W.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
