I have a Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9550 installed and it is supposed to feature SSE4 and virtualisation instructions ( cpu flags vmx and sse4_1 ), but CPU-Z reports it does not:
The mainboard is a Gigabyte EP35-DS4.
I've tried both Windows, Linux 32-bit and 64-bit kernels and the flags are missing in all accounts. On the other hand, another Q9550 works fine, although on another mainboard model - still Gigabyte. What am I doing wrong here?

If I was you, I would go into the BIOS and make sure that the Virtualisation bit / VT is set to enabled as it is disabled by default on some motherboards. As for SSE4, I again would look in the BIOS, but I have never had to deal with this before and have never seen an option to have it disabled. | |||||||

Flashing the MB did make it work. Although the CPU was listed as supported and functioned properly, virtualisation was not available for it in the revision I had installed. | |||
