Dell Inspiron 530 / 530s v1.0.2 Experimental Unlocking & Upgrading Project

[Eugene74]

Hi everyone!

I've recently flashed my mobo with "Xeon.bat" to upgrade my C2D E6750 to a Xeon E5450, after the flash process with the C2D in it all was working perfectly, with AHCI activated and an increase in RAM utilization (before flashing only was 2,7Gb useable, now I have all 4Gb), but unfortunately the mobo doesn't boot with the Xeon in it, it doesn't do anything, just keep the fans running at full speed. I try to reset bios using the jumpers before I change to Xeon but same result, any advice? Has anybody try this processor on this board?

My mobo is G33M02, RAM 2x2Gb @ 667MHz, and the splash screen is Not disabled.

Thank you very much in advance!

EDIT: Xeon processor has been tested in other mobo and it works OK

mobo G33M02 does NOT support ANY QUAD CORE.
only G33M03 works with Quad Core (Including XEONs)

the difference between the two mobos (that looks the same) is only CPU POWER (Pins and Watts).

You can use Dual Core Xeon or C2D E8000 series on G33M02 mobo at best.
