From my limited experience, the ME is in the BIOS chip, I think one option would be a CH341A and a clamp to program the entire chip, it is possible that a software update does not program BIOS + ME. Another option would be to look for the Intel FPT version that works with that chipset and find out …

If someone can send me a bios dump of a Z97 Pro motherboard would be great.

According to this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/suppo … t-software.html The Intel ME is indeed in the PCH, so there is nothing I can do at EEPROM level. The guy at Win-Raid is damn wrong. Is there someone here that can help?

Hello all, I have a big problem with my ASUS Z97 pro, which I believe it is hands down the best 1150 motherboard. After updating the bios to accommodate my Broadwell Xeon, I obtain 00 code and solid red on cpu led. The Pentium G still works. Long story short, I see in the bios that ME version is …

Tested again the voodoo 3000. Rock solid The same for a Rage pro 8mb I had. Radeon 9500 is a no go. It seems that anything not 3.3v won’t work (D3-14).

As I mentioned earlier, the board had a rep for being extremely picky about which AGP cards of the time would work (Voodoo 3 / Banshee, Matrox G400, Rage 128, Nvidia GF2 GTS / TNT2 / GF 256) so not sure it'll behave any better with anything more recent. Whether this was a BIOS issue (there were …

It is also possible that the board has damages and/or drained capacitors around the cpu slots, but I cannot see anything. Here attached if you want to take a look.

Your V3000 has xxMB or ram. With xx or lower, does the board post with another video card that has xx or lower amount of ram? Does AGP 1-2-4x make a difference? Maybe there is a problem addressing more than that amount of video ram. Ah now I understand. I don’t have agp cards with less than 16MB of …

Before having the proper Intel bios chip, the board worked with pci gpu only. Now at least I can use a Voodoo 3000 AGP. With other cards the system won’t complete post and it stops at “D3-14” again. I suspect that the issue again is at bios level, not able to handle properly AGP cards more recent …

Finally! Enjoy your board. Actually now comes the hard part: Make the AGP works. I was partially correct, the proper bios chip allows me to make the agp port work but only with a AGP 3.3V card apparently. It is ok with a voodoo3000. With GeForce2 GTS, GeForce fx5200 and fx 5700 I have the board …
