Hello !

I have a problem with this motherboard -  Biostar G31-M4 (https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/int...p?S_ID=502)
I want to install a Pentium 4 3.4 GHz (Prescott core, 800 MHz FSB) on it, but that board has a TDP limit of 95W in BIOS and it does not allow to use higher TDP CPUs.
I have to constantly press F10 when computer boots. I think that the problem is in the CPU whitelist or some BIOS code that somehow detects the TDP.
Please help me to remove this limitation from BIOS.
The latest Biostar G31-M4 BIOS is attached.
Thank you in advance !
Post a screenshot of third (Mainboard) tab of CPU-Z with supported CPU.
And make a photo of the screen with TDP error.
