Also hit Ctrl + F1 in bios for more unhidden BIOS features
TESTED CPU's
AMD AM2+ Phenom x4 9150e 1.8GHz 65w
AMD AM3 Athlon II 245 2.9GHz 65w -OVERCLOCKED with Nvidia System Tools to 3.4GHz
AMD AM3 Phenom II x4 3.4GHz C3 125w BLACK EDITION Passed Prime95
CAUTION: IF using a (CPU) Processor higher than 95w you will need to UPGRADE to an AFTERMARKET Heatsink. The one that came stock with the HP/COMPAQ computer is not good enough for a high wattage processor
To clarify the instructions on Linux Using Ubuntu Live CD (11.04) (RECOMMENDED FLASH PROCEDURE)
Have files on flash drive...
open terminal
sudo apt-get install subversion
Ubuntu software center (search libpci)
install Linux PCI Utilities (Development files)
Now do (in terminal):
svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom
cd flashrom
make
sudo make install
navigate to flash drive in terminal: (mine was located at /media/745B-FD7D):
cd /media/{your dir}
backup old bios
sudo flashrom -r bios.bak (will store in curent directory)
now sudo flashrom -f -w BIOS.ROM (or whatever you named it)
run command again if it doesn't take the first time. Then you are done
