Hello everyone. I purchased a used GA-ep45-UD3 and Xeon, completed the modifications. I can run Windows 7 but encounter issues when trying to install Windows 8.1 Pro—it crashes and displays this error for a brief moment before restarting. Please hold the power button. Error code: 0x000000C4. Parameters: 0x00000000000000910x000000000000000F0xFFFFF8035ADC7A800x0000000000000000. I noticed this problem on a Sun Ultra 24 with a Q8200 before; it worked fine in Windows 8.1 Pro. Any advice would be very helpful.
Looking through your MB and W 8.1 didn’t yield results, but using the keyword "xeon" triggered a search that produced: Windows 8.1 installation issues. Note: Ensure you follow the recommended steps if you haven’t tried them yet. If the install fails due to missing features such as CompareExchange128, the provided details can assist with resolving it.
