Hello everybody,
I am currently working on a project named "Project skulltrail".
This includes the usage of an very rare Intel d5400xs mainboard, also known as "Skulltrail" with two Socket 771-Quadcore (X5470) overclocked to 4Ghz.
While the hardware is up and running, I realised a very strange problem:
I want to use Windows 10 (e.g. because of the graphics cards used) and I can't install it.
The Upgrade-programm, executed from Windows 7 x64 says "your CPU does not support CMPXCHG16b / CompareExchange128". This is not true, because the Upgrade is running fine using just the same CPU on an ASUS P5Q-E.
I tried installing Windows 10 using a burned DVD - but the installer does only start using the 32bit-version of the setup which does not require the feauture mentioned above (and which is useless because I want to use the 16GB of installied FB-DIMMs). The 64bit-version does not start, probably because of the missing, or just not passed through via BIOS, support of CMPXCHG16b or because of the old SATA-controller image (2008).
So, my question is:
- Can someone unlock the support or some options in the BIOS so i can enable the CMPXCHG16b-function?
- Can someone patch the AHCI-controller-ROM to a more recent version? The board uses an Intel ESB2 AHCI Controller.
- Are there some other hidden menues which can be unlocked (especially concerning Intel EIST, PAE, NX, ...)?
You can find the latest Intel-BIOS here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/de/down...54010J-86A-
I would be so grateful if you could help me! The project is somewhat stuck at this point...
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
