Hi
I'm looking for
AMD Turion X2 microcode for AMI bios from
ASUS A6M laptop. Accidentally I bought this CPU then found that REV. G is not supported. Laptop is starting up then stops with "unknown CPU revision. System halted." message on BIOS screen. I'd tried extract some microcodes from other bioses but I can't find AMI bios with this particular CPU support, anyone know, anyone seen? Maybe this is possible to use microcode from other bios vendors?
Regards
Having some trouble myself trying to find a laptop that contains support. What i will do tomorrow morning is to look at the current bios , see what microcode it has , then look at other laptop bioses that support the TL-60 and see if the microcodes vary.
Will get back to you soon

Hi Admin, did you compared them? Any news?

Having the same issue as well. Tried extracting the microcodes from the Asus A6T BIOS, but all AMIMMWIN gives me is:
AMD CPU MicroCode Patch Data Information

Done.
There seems to be multiple versions of the A6M, where reportedly some support the Turion X2's:

http://www.ebay.com/ctg/AMD-Turion-64-X2...405/r.html
However, these versions use the same BIOS, so this does not make any sense.
The BIOS'es can be downloaded here:

I tried replacing the old Sempron with TMDTL56HAX5CT, the one you are linking to. Didn't work.

Excellent! Mine is a Q068H.

It's working, CPU temperature dropped from 46 to 17-20 in idle mode, maybe you bought faulty CPU? Even if your is unsupported there should be bios message as I said in first post in this thread.
Thanks for noticing me!
I'll make some more checks. If I still can't get it to work I'll have it replaced.
Perhaps you can dump your BIOS as well? Might be worth trying to flash it as a last resort.
