I mentioned that over the weekend, the F2 is too old for 32nm processors I believe. I could be wrong but the micro code for their new 32nm was after the board was released. You can try installing your old 920 (I keep a 930 lying around for this purpose), and see if that does the trick. If it don't, then you may simply need rev 2.0 bios flashed with F9D soldered into the M_BIOS location.

Thx m8! Yeah I knew I had read it somewhere that someone mentioned that...when I got the idea i my head I knew I had heard it before as well :)
Anyways, I do have an i7-930, but that one seems to require at least an F5 version for the Rev 1.0 board :(
But what do you mean by "rev 2.0 bios flashed with F9D"? My board is Rev 1.0, should't I buy a Rev 1.0 BIOS with F9D flash on it? Or do you mean that the BIOS chips for Rev 1.0 and Rev 2.0 boards are just the same? That seller on ebay said he could manage either Rev 1.0 or Rev 2.0 but I don't know if they are the same chip....
They are the exact same bios chip model, just slightly newer. Rev 2.0 just indicates that something was physically improved with the chip, nothing more. It still uses the same exact BIOS code, and flashes the exact same way and with the exact same tools, and operates exactly the same way. The board will not even know there's a difference. However, you "may" notice a slight improvement with the way it operates (I doubt it though), depending on what was improved. Sometimes the only thing they improved was better energy consumption and or better materials was used to build it. Also, the rev of the board, is the rev of the board itself and has nothing to do with the BIOS chip.
In the 1990's I worked for Intel and one of my short-lived tasks were to flash bios chips, one after the other after the other. About as boring a job as it could get, let me tell you lol.

Hehe have no idea what is involved in flashing bios chips, but if it's anything like flipping burgers at McDonald's and putting together the ingredients to make a Big Mac one after the other like 1000's of them everyday...then I feel you bro :D That sounds like a really boring line of job...!
Today I tried to bid on an i7-920 processor on a Swedish bidding site...those damn things go for a great chunk of money still, and at the end I didn't feel as it was worth keep bidding on and on...it went for something like $85 + shipping :( And they are scarce to find as well...so I guess it will take a while to find one.
Anyways, just one last question about those Rev 2.0 chips then if I may...if I do get one of those to combine with my Rev 1.0 mobo, should the chip be flashed with a Rev 1.0 BIOS software or Rev 2.0 BIOS software? They are listed with different names and come in different flavors depended whether it's for a Rev 1.0 0r Rev 2.0 board...the latest Rev 1.0 is F9a (there's a modded F9d which I had on mine) and the latest for Rev 2.0 is called "FD" listed under Rev 2.0 board. Which software flavor should a Rev 2.0 chip be pre-flashed to go with a Rev 1.0 board? Sorry about my confusion...just have a feeling that at least the correct and compatible software BIOS version (in this case FD for a Rev 2.0 chip) surely must be used with a Rev 2.0 chip model choice? Just so that I'm certain what to put in my order if it gets to that....
I would order the new BIOS using only the model "GA-X58A-UD7 (Rev 1.0)" as reference. Do not ask for a specific version of bios. Just let them determine what version to send you. I would have them flash the latest BIOS version for your board as well, F9A. Then use that as the Main BIOS (M_BIOS) and flash the secondary BIOS again with any of your modded versions. If it does not work, it should at least fire up the Main BIOS which is now Healthy and using the latest version. Right?
Again, do NOT concern yourself with the version or rev of the chip, let the BIOS chip flashing experts do that. Purchasing, or trading for a 920 would be the easiest way for you I think. Too bad I dont have the board already, it would have been fixed in a matter of minutes. lol, assuming the BIOS is the problem...
