I am a PC specialist and have what should be a relatively minor request regarding this already unlocked bios http://rghost.net/56989240 for the HM67 chipset. This is an insyde bios. The laptop will not boot with an Intel i3-3110M SR0N1 2.4GHz Socket G2 3MB cpu giving only a blank screen which flickers for a moment then halts. This is almost certainly entirely due to the fact the microcode for it is not present. I know with a fair degree of certainty this processor should indeed work just fine in this board and my colleagues agree. I'd be most grateful if someone could do this for me. I would attempt to do so myself but have no direct experience with this particular issue. I would much rather pop in my verified perfectly functional cpu than buy yet another 700$+ laptop for no reason.

I don't know if its helpful or relevant but these laptops are known to have a wireless WiFi whitelist that has proven to be a pain for others wanting to swap wireless chips. That was of course easily overcome. I doubt there would be a whitelist for cpus but who really knows what manufacturers are doing? Thank you for your attention.
HM65 and HM67 are not compatible with ivy bridge cpus.
Regardless I would still like to have the microcode present in the bios. I have other reasons.
I have a question if anyone might know the actual answer. The cpu I have is electrically compatible and multiple people I know in the industry have told me including an intel engineer that the official list is not complete so I am wondering why exactly it would not work. This cpu is effectively a die shrink of the one already in this laptop and I am getting no adequate explanation?
Ive wanted to try a cpu upgrade on a laptop a few times now and always wondered if it was possible as you see so many of the same model with a handful of different but similar spec cpus.

Is it possible to pull up a list of compatible cpus from the bios?

Latest bios of the laptop (acer aspire 5750z) im currently looking at upgrading attached.

Many thanks for looking.
I've analyzed your BIOS for microcodes:
Code:
Offset   Size Version Date       CPUID
0x351000 2400 025     10/11/2011 0206A7 (Sandy Bridge)
0x353400 2400 028     09/15/2010 0206A6 (Sandy Bridge ES)
0x355800 1C00 007     07/22/2010 0206A5 (Sandy Bridge ES)
0x357400 2400 008     05/26/2010 0206A3 (Sandy Bridge ES)
Almost all CPU's for Socket G2 with Sandy Bridge core are supported.
Thanks very much Deathbringer Smile
Good day everyone. It would be an option to add 3rd generation CPU microcodes to work in the Aspire 5750G and others.

Excuse my English, I'm Czech.
Adding microcode will not add support for new CPU.
