Acer 7750g Insyde BIOS update CPU microcode

Hello,

I have a laptop Acer 7750g with motherboard P7YEO LA-6911P with Insyde BIOS.

I wanted to upgrade the CPU from i3 to I7 quad SR0V0 (Ivy Bridge). But after installing the new CPU I have a black screen at power up. Fan start, no hhd activity, no keyboard response.

When I put back the bulk I3 CPU the system start fine. I have the latest BIOS version (1.21) and I would like to know if it possible to mod this BIOS to update microcode to support SR0V0 CPU ?

Thanks for your help :wink:

Your system is incapable of running IVB CPUs both at the hardware (PCH HM65) and firmware level (Management Engine & BIOS). You can only use SNB CPUs at that system.
