GA-EP45-DS3R W/ X5472

[Danyyel]

Hello comunity

I have a GA-EP45-DS3R V1.0 with BIOS 11e.

I bought a Xeon X5472 to try to mod my system. I ran through every stem in preparing the socket mod and tested right away the processor. The sistem didn't boot and i retrieved no video signal. It was always powering up and shutting down.

I downloaded some new files to mod my bios and learned to work with CBROM195 to mod my BIOS ROM and flashed my bios. Checked the inputs using intelmicrocodelist.exe. Still no success.

The processor is "SLASA" and and according to the web, it has a CPUID 1067Ah.

Attached is my latest try.



I am starting to think i bought a damaged processor. To be shure i ask the comunity for help in making a tested BIOS file for my system.




PS:
I send you my regards and thanks to all. Until now reading post has been very helpfull.
