[Solved] Intel DG41AN micro code update for Xeon (LGA771)

Read this thread attentively.

I'm very sorry to necro this thread, but a similar motherboard should be arriving at my doorstep in a day or so. Could use a Xeon bios, if you please. Not similar, this exact board. I picked it up for its size, very compact...has DDR3 support, and yknow...socket 775. I plan to put Xeon L5140 SLBBS from Aliexpress in it. SLBBS seems to be the coldest out of two. Knowing how barebone the bios from Intel usually is, it'd be the ideal CPU. CPU itself has yet to arrive from Ali, that should take a month or so, in the meantime, the replacement for that Xeon can be anything, really. As long as it isn't some Pentium E.

That took awhile.

At first try to update BIOS - http://web.archive.org/web/2019090419560...oad/19951/

Okay, I downloaded some Express Update thingy (ANG4110H.86A.0018.EB.EXE), installed it...board rebooted itself. It says "Bios flashing O.K"

Now what?

Make new screenshot of CPU-Z, then try to boot with your E5450.

Can't boot with E5450. Three shorts beeps. I need a more permanent solution, I'm afraid. It says: i will run this utility again (one you referred to after I posted a request https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-S...#pid149128) after every power up or reset. THIS IS THE WORST BOARD IVE EVER DEALT WITH! Others have it easy, I cant even use a different CPU, not just Xeon. WTF?

[DeathBringer]

Ask Intel about this BIOS update.
But I think you have faulty motherboard.

I kind of hope you're joking.
I was really hoping to like...uh, move away from using G31 boards...
