Hi there,
This is my 2nd topic for same problem. I didn't get an answer which is not enough. So this is the problem.
I have issue about updating processor. This is my PC
HP Pro 3010 Microtower PC
Model #: WB636ES
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 5.11, 29.09.2009
Motherboard:
Pegatron Corporation
Model: 2A94h
Brand: American Megatrends Inc.
I'd tried to update my processor with these;
Intel® Pentium® Processor E6500 (2M Cache, 2.93 GHz, 1066 FSB)
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q8200 (4M Cache, 2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
Intel® Pentium® Processor E6700 (2M Cache, 3.20 GHz, 1066 FSB)
For my investigation they are compatible with my motherboard. I found a website which motherboards specs are listed.
http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/pegatron-2a94h-motherboard-specs-3272011h24/
As you can see Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield), Pentium Dual Core, Core 2 Duo (Kentsfield) are supported.
But when everytime i try any processor, PC is not booted and no vision on my monitor and motherboard gives LONG 9 or 10 More beeps. So i go on with my Intel E5300 processor which is default one.
I had tried everything but there maybe only solution is updating BIOS. I'm not sure about it. So i ask you?
My board BIOS version is 5.11. In HP site when i enter my model number, 5.17 version BIOS update appears to download.
I am scared to update BIOS. Is there any option there to make work new processor properly? Do i have to update my BIOS?
Meanwhile all of Core2 Quad processors have 4MB, 6MB, 8MB, 12MB cache. If everthings gonna fine, these processors work normal? (It seems that my motherboard supports 2MB cache, i guess or read it somewhere)
Best Regards
