I can do that , but the laptop doesn't boot ATM with an error "No operating system found".
I will swap the cpu back on the original and try to post what you asked

the specifications are available here https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/suppo...ifications
I've read elsewhere that this specific chipset (HM70) will randombly reboot ? Even if i make it work ?

Hello , and happy new year to everyone! 

This Sony Vaio originally came with a Intel B980 and now I have purchased a Intel I7 3632QM as an upgrade. Once I install the new CPU The bios settings cannot be changed anymore, and it won't boot from usb stick, nor hdd.

Does any of you have any idea how I can fix this (modded bios, bios unlock)?

Is it even possible to use this cpu on this motherboard or should I send it back?

Thanks in advance for your time!
