The cpu is I7 950 @3.07GHz. from what I've found through this link - https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-i7-950.c644,
I guess that it's a Bloomfield, but I'm not sure.
The bios rev is FB.

Yes.  Bloomfield.

BIOS FF is the minimum required for i7 950 support.

Try flashing to FH and restest. 

Start by resetting BIOS to defaults.  Save and restart.  Then flash to "FH"

amron:
Thanx for your help. I'm trying to learn how to update the bios as per your suggestion. I never done it before, so I'm a little anxious since I understand that if it's not done right it may cause quite a big problem.

Greetings,
Nothing you need to be afraid of. 

Start here and review the manual starting on page 35:

QFLASH is preferred.

You will need a USB stick formatted FAT32

Copy just the extracted BIOS to the root of the USB stick. 

Insert this to a USB port.

Restart the computer and start tapping the <End> key

Tap , pause, Tap, Pause

Until you see the BIOS Update QFLASH Menu.  Its self explanatory from there.  You'll see the BIOS revision you have and will be given the option to upgrade.  It will ask where it can find the upgrade file.  Point it to the USB Stick.  It takes about 2 min.  When the system re-starts, enter BIOS and ensure, date, time  and preferred settings are correct.

amron:
Thanx. I'll do it.
