Intel Wolfdale bios upgrade for Shuttle SD37P2 V2

[1234s282]

I look forward to your feedback - you would expect that more than double the microcode in the new one should sort things out

No joy I'm afraid. Flashed your BIOS without problems, swapped the CPU's, reassembled and switched on but no boot. The fans start but no video. I tried wiping the CMOS with the reset button but no change. I was afraid I'd broken something during the switch (these shuttles are tricky to work on) but when I put the old cpu back in it POST'ed ok. Windows 7 blue screened though but I think it didn't like waking up with a new BIOS. I flashed the old BIOS back with a USB floppy and windows started no problems.
I need the system to be running 24/7 for the next 2-3 weeks but I'll try the CPU upgrade again after that.

Hey,

I found this incredible site as I was looking for more information about SD37P2 v1 and Wolfdale processor compatibility.
You are doing an amazing work helping people here and will easily donate 20$ if you could help me (and Geo66) by adding Wolfdale compatibility with SD37P2 v1.

Here latest bios : http://download.shuttle.eu/Downloads/Bar...37s037.bin

Please tell me if it is possible

Cheers !

Thanks

Hello,

Here latest bios from SD39P2 (same chipset I975X), I hope it will help you.

Info about SD39P2 : http://techreport.com/articles.x/12248
Infos about SD37P2 v1 : http://www.sudhian.com/index.php?/articl...erformance

PS : I was thinking about upgrading from E6600 to Q9400 or E8400, also eventhough DDR2 800MHz isn't officially supported, it is working very well with my current E6600, I don't know if it would be possible to go up to 1066MHz though.

Thanks again!

OK this is the SD37P2 v1 bios with the microcode from the SD39P2

Try at your own risk!

Please excuse my English is not so good.

I bought a new processor the Intel Core 2 Duo E 7600 for the LGA 775 with a FSB of 1066 MHz.

Have installed the processor, and noticed that the computer will not start.

Have also noticed that the processor was manufactured in 45 nm.

Supported but are only 65 nm and 90 nm

I think that s0lid has had a similar problem with his system.

bios-mods


I once provided by 1234s282 Bios installed. but nothing had brought.
I think this is not the processor when it was updated.

Also, use is still the BIOS.

Here are some inforamtion on the embedded CPU:

http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=41495&processor=E7600&spec-codes=SLGTD

Currently, an Intel Core 2 6420 is installed with 2.13 GHz.

I am ready for a settlement to pay $ 30.

Thanks in advance.
