&gt;&gt; &nbsp; I'd update the BIOS and all should run well. &nbsp;&lt;&lt; &nbsp;yes, but how? &nbsp;if you only have that CPU ?<br />
i've had cases like that - then i had to look for a &quot;compatible&quot; cpu - install it - run the bios update, then unmount the old CPU and install the new one<br />
<br />
not a task everybody can or wants to perform
