    Whitelisting wouldn't cause that problem - it wouldn't allow the machine to boot at all. However if the BIOS doesn't support the processor there can be other issues like e.g. a microcode update that's required to run stable in some conditions.
    But this isn't the right place to ask for BIOS mods, there are better places like:
