CPU Upgrade - unsupported CPU - HP Support Community

DiVersant · ‎03-07-2020

I`m trying to upgrade CPU in my Pavilion Slimline s3400f from Athlon 64 x2 5200+ (Socket AM2) to Phenom x4 9350e (Socket AM2+). Both processors are 65W, and AM2+ is backward compatible with AM2. The only problem is that current BIOS (5.14, 03/13/2008) does not support Phenom x4 processors. I know how to start computer to avoid immediately shutdown after BIOS CPU warning, but PC can't start normally without user at the keyboard.

Can somebody tell me how to disable unsupported CPU warning? Phenom x4 9350e works perfect. Computer starts normally... Computer starts normally... ... but will show the warning and shutdown ... but will show the warning and shutdown If it started, all works just perfect If it started, all works just perfect

As You can see on attached screenshot, Phenom X4 works good on this PC.
Just need the method to disable warning and shutdown during startup.
Or may be it exist the way to ask HP BIOS programmers to make new build?
