Thank you TheOldMan, it did install but sadly I need the actual BIOS for the 6300 because I want to upgrade to the I5 3470 and the BIOS for the 6200 doesn't recognize this CPU, is there an option to install the K01 on my pc instead of the 6200 J01? I think there should be the 6300 BIOS for J01 in some place but I can't seem to find it.

 

Thank you very much again

I actually found the J01 BIOS from another thread where that BIOS was discussed.  I cannot answer that.  I do not have one of those devices but perhaps @Paul_Tikkanen can help further

Hi, @Fvelasquez 

 

I suggest you take a look in your PC' BIOS and check the model number for the motherboard or the serial number that is in the BIOS and not on the PC using the HP part surfer website.

 

HP PartSurfer

 

Also check the chipset specs using a free utility like HWINFO.

 

Free Download HWiNFO Sofware | Installer & Portable for Windows, DOS

 

I believe that TheOldMan is 100% correct in that your PC's motherboard is either from a HP 6200 Pro or 8200 Elite.

 

If the chipset is a Q65, then it is a 6200 Pro.  If it is a Q67, then it is an 8200 Elite, and no Intel 3rd generation core processor will work in any motherboard with those chipsets.

 

The reason is if you actually had the internal components of a HP 6300 Pro PC, the i5-3470 processor will work without the need for a BIOS update.

 

I have an 8200 Elite, and it uses the J01 BIOS and the 6300 Pro/8300 Elite uses the K01 BIOS
