I need some assistance with a BIOS mod to remove CPU restriction for a HP Pavilion Slimline Desktop s5704y - with a Foxconn OEM Motherboard H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX (Apricot) http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/publi...cale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c02552467
I managed to extract current bios with tools found here on this site (thanks!). Attached as: "AS_FOUND.ROM"
HP's "nag" permits boot (hitting F2 several times) but fouls entry into Setup. Would like to remove restriction by eliminating check or white-listing CPU correctly. HP claims that 95w CPUs are supported but error message is still issued.

Target processor is 95W Phenom II X6 1055T Six-Core (Thuban core). Tapping "F2" during boot bypasses "ERROR: Unsupported CPU installed" / auto-power-down sequence, and boots correctly into Windows (7) which recognizes the processor just fine.
Machine is for student - so making it EZ without the work-around would be best.
