First of all, I would like to say - this is great site.
I had no need to mod my bios ever before but now I'm stuck with i5-2520m CPU and I bought i7-2670qm but my Lenovo G570 won't start with i7-2670qm. After turning on - fan works for 3-4 seconds, than stops and after 10 seconds power led turns off. It looks like it is checking installed cpu and stops after getting results (probably this cpu is not in whitelist or something like that).
Is there any way to update/modificate bios to read/accept this CPU.
Info:
Lenovo G570
Bios version: 40CN33WW(V2.19)
OS: Windows 10 x64
My bios is from official site, download link is: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mob...3ww_64.exe
I would like to donate/pay for solution of my problem.
Sorry for my bad english.
