Pavillion p7-1287c
Other

Hi everyone, I recently got  a free HP Pavillion p7-1287c and it came with no storage. I try and turn it on and it boots to hp recovery wizard/program and prints the specs and after that it tells me an error that there is an unsupported cpu but its the stock cpu. I have no idea what to do. Thank you.

Unfortunately no new BIOS for the last 9 years. Please download and re-install.

I just took out the CPU and it says Intel Core i5 2400. Which matches the description on the side of the case.
