Did you tried this - https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-R...4#pid44694 ?

No, I didn't because flashing ipibl-lb BIOS network card won't works, maybe

It can be solved.

I'll try tomorrow. In case can I revert to 5.13 ipibl-la BIOS?

[DeathBringer]

Yes, I think you can revert it.

stopped to same point booting

With my patch to view the post-codes, what code appears in the corner?

Code 423C maybe
42 Initialize interrupt vector area
3C CPU speed calculation

Flashed IPIBL-LB 5.43 bios and installed Q9500 CPU. 
Everything works fine, ethernet too.
Some issues with usb ports. Maybe different chipset. I'll try to resolve it
Thanks

Were you able to resolve the issues?  I found an old discarded HP using an IPIBL-LA v1.04 board with v5.08 BIOS. The PSU was bad - which is probably why it got tossed - but I've got it up and running with a new PSU and a spare SSD I had lying around. I'm tempted to flash it just to see if I can get it to work and then pick up a Q9550 or something on eBay for cheap.

May try to see post code when the system is locked. Patch to view a two-digit post code in the lower right corner.

Would I flash this with afudos via a DOS USB drive similar to how the IPIBL-LB BIOS mod is performed?

Well... like an idiot I pulled the trigger and just did it.  It went about as badly as it possibly could have.  My apartment didn't burn down but the machine no longer POSTs.  I just get a blank screen from the video card initializing (an 8600GT FWIW) but that's it. Edit: Also tried pulling the GPU out and using the onboard VGA port, but the result is the same.

In hindsight I should have probably looked at the files in a hex editor or something before blindly flashing it... but I was just SO EXCITED.

I was hoping that this would be a fun little project but it seems that I'm just going to quietly put this machine back where I found it next to the trash dumpster...
