Hi . i just upgraded a lga 775 system with intel xeon x5450 cpu it has no problem booting and except for fan being loud it seems to work , my problem is it will install 32 bit windows but not 64 bit windows . im guessing it could be problem with microcode since xeon x5450 is lga771 and not fully supported by 775 bios but since it installs 32 bit and this is a 64 bit cpu i dont see why it shouldnt install?

the system is hp dx 7500 , 8 gb ddr2 , intel xeon x5450 lga 771 to 775 mod
 
Solution
that wasnt to hard, i added the microcode for the lga 771 cpu to the bios file then updated and it run with no problem , i had to disable c1 Power saving features in bios to get it to run though for some reason.

Im joining Surface. I bought a few days ago a Intel xeon x5450 procesor. Procesor got adapter from lga 771 to lga 775. Putted in my Gigabyte motherboard. Before i have Intel Core 2 duo E8500 and Asus Geforce 9600 GT GPU. I have fully working windows 8.1 which work perfect. Starting pc he randomly restarts with windows 8.1. Putted new HDD with windows 10 he stucks and my keyboard, mouse turns off.. Sorry for my bad language, but i tried my best.. :)
