unfortunately that info in the #2 post is useless.
if you truly are on BIOS10 on an AB9 QuadGT then you will need to update it (http://file.abit.com.tw/pub/download...t//m621e17.zip is last official) but afaik abit have never released a BIOS that supports it - the CPU support list for the AB9 QuadGT has "test" against it. http://www.abit.com.tw/cpu-support-l...ab9-quadgt.htm
