My LGA7750 board stopped working and I replaced it. Now only my Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8GB RAM, dual-channel, 2TB) runs fine, while my Core 2 Quad Q6600 (4TB, BSEL tweaked to 3GHz) doesn’t work at all or even with the BSEL version. I’m looking for ways to get it to function properly. There’s a lot of mixed advice online about Intel 955X support—can you find more up-to-date details? My system specs include:

- Motherboard: HP Workstation XW4300
- RAM: 4x1GB DDR2 at 555MHz ECC
- CPU: Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8GHz)
- GPU: FireGL v3350 Radeon HD3650
- Storage: 160GB SSD, Windows 10
- PSU: 430W from the same workstation

Any tips or alternatives to make it run?

It seems the system identifies your processor as a Pentium D due to limited support options. The documentation confirms only Pentium models are available, so you won’t get a quad-core experience with this unit.
