Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L bios update windows 10 64bit

Still trying to enable VT-x on intel core 2 duo E7500 on Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L motherboard
no such option in BIOS, tried to update to F6 BIOS but a message comes up after trying to run file
"error due to Windows 64bit incompatibility".
is there a way of enabling VT-x on this motherboard.?

Check the manual page 37, you can enable the VT. http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-EP35-DS3L-rev-1x#support-manual

In the BIOS under "Advanced BIOS Features" it's called "Virtualization Technology."

It will only be there if your CPU supports VT-x. Apparently only E7500 stepping SLGTE supports it, while SLB9Z does not. CPU-z will show VT-x under "Instructions" if you have it.

And don't try flashing the BIOS in a DOS window, there are already enough things to go wrong without going through emulation too. Boot to genuine 16-bit DOS with a floppy or USB stick.

Sorry. I have a different mobo then the model I posted about. I have a gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L (rev 1:1)
I have updated the BIOS to F10 yet I still don't have a virtualization option in the Advanced BIOS Features menu.
when I run Hyper-V Manager I can't connect to local server due to the Hypervisor not enabled on the physical CPU.

You are trying to run virtualization on a board that cannot see more than 3.25GB RAM even on a 64-bit OS?

And how about letting us know if your particular E7500 is one of the ones that supports VT-x?

You can use the cpu-z to id the cpu.

I'm not trying to win any awards with this hardware, I'm just trying to run a DC and a VM client to do my class labs. My core 2 E7500 is a SLB9Z that does not support VT-x so that is probably the reason why there is no virtualization option in the GA-G31M-ES2L (rev 1:1) BIOS, after the F10 update. I guess it's time to upgrade to a more modern motherboard-CPU, that said I was very impressed with the capabilities of this CPU when overclocked to 3999 MHz.

Yes that would explain why it's missing even though the board does support it.
Well eBay has plenty of used E8500 (which all have VT-x) for $6 shipped, or you could get a quad for $10 more.
