[anton_heidebrink]

hello people,

i want to upgrade my intel core 2 duo to a intel xeon quadcore
the problem is that i can not find the bios rom file of my computer
and i know it is possible to extract the bios rom file from the bios exe installer
but i am not able to do so : Fou: i am doing something wrong

i tried to extract it but the mmtool for bios adding says that it not a useble file with code (1000H)

is there anybody who can send me the rom file or link that shows me how to exactly do this

hardware:
Dell Optiplex 755
cpu intelcore 2 duo
Mobo: OPU 052
Bios: A22 updated on 08-09-2018

if you want to know more just ask

greatings Anton

Why don´t you just install the latest BIOS A22, reset the BIOS by CMOSreset jumper after that and then assemble the XEON?
