Ok here is the issue I had taken a quad core Q6600 out of this HP Pavilion Elite m9047c system with a IPIBL-LA Motherobard. i put the quad core in to another system and its working fine. so i had a Pentium D laying around and put that into the HP. It worked fine. Got windows installed. and i did all the drivers. i noticed the BIOS was out of date so i decided to update it. well... yea... the BIOS isnt trashed its just with the latest bios the system no longer accepts my Pentium D it only accepts Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad CPU's.

so i was wondering if anyone can help me track down an older or the original bios that i can flash it with.

thanks

What version did you download?
The latest one is v5.13, released May 2008

The specs on HP's site
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...1077641&dlc=en
say it doesn't support the Pentium D at all :S
If you've got the original driver DVD, you could try looking for the original BIOS, although I don't know if manufacturers bundle drivers anymore. (Last system I saw that did this was an Optiplex from the mid 1990s)

thats the driver i did download. no i dont have a driver cd. the system had that stupid restore partition. the board did work with the Pentium D... thats the only way i was able to update the bios

Did you call HP and ask what you should do? I know you probably won't get a good answer, but you could try...

Put the Q6600 in it, flash it back to the older BIOS.

Remove Q6600 and put in the Pentium D......

The amount of time you have spent in this thread you could have done it now a 1000x over

I found the 5.13 bios here:

http://www.osxcores.site50.net/product-1.htm

Use at your own risk, and please read info on the bios available at the site first. The bios all have a DSDT fix to allow you to install OSX on the PC, but it should still be 100% functional for normal Win installs. Here is the direct link:

NM, it is the same bios you currently have... still looking

inthe amount of time it took you to write that you could have googled the motherboard to find if there is an older bios i can use to flash it.

seriously though. If i had an older bios to flash it with i would have.. BUT that is why the threads topic is "Need older BIOS for HP system"

thanks everyone for the help. if anyone finds an older version let me know

I too am looking for an older bios for this board to use a Pentium D 945.

Any luck?
