compaq Desktop pc info required

With a lot of BIOSes, both name brand like Compaq and others, a BIOS update either before or after installing the new CPU will fix a microcode issue. The BIOS update could even be exactly the same BIOS revision as already in the computer. I have encountered exactly the same issues with a number of upgraded IBM desktop and server computers over the years. The BIOS burps when it sees the new CPU, runs perfectly after a so-called update... Ben Myers yep |

Please contact Compaq Computer Corporation for a new rom bios to support the new processor stepping" IT has "F1:Boot" in white on blue background, and when i press f1 it boots. any ideas for the error? i assume it needs a bios update? if it does where can i get it from? compaq web/tech support didnt even reply to my original question! Did you update your bios before you put in the new processor? http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/fi...odel/1158.html |
