Posted November 8, 20186 yr HI, my mobo is pro-e, now i m running on this mobo with bios 8F on i7 920 no problem so far here. But if i put xeon E5649 here and turn PC on, it start like on 1s, then restart, PC is "running" like for 15s but nothink happened, black screen no lights on keyboard, after 15s restart, then 1s, then 15s.... I have 2 this xeons, problem is with both I see on hwbot and on web xeons are working on this mobo but i think i need some moded BIOS (updated microcodes for xeons). Can someone help me or tell me some site where i can download this modified BIOS?
November 8, 20186 yr The 8F bios should work really, are you 100% sure that the CPU itself isn't dead?
November 8, 20186 yr Author Yeah i buy rampage iii and there this Xeon E5649 going fine but i still want run Xeon on MSI pro-e. I buy x5670 it is same like E5649... Have someone idea what can be problem?
November 9, 20186 yr I had that combo a while back, don't really have much of the data anymore, but you can check the BIOS version in one of my valids. Have you tried clearing CMOS by removing the BIOS battery too? http://valid.x86.fr/npaaqr
