    Does changelog for the bios update include something like "microcode update" or "support for new CPUs" and is the latest bios update dated after the release date of the mobile C2 quads?

    My BIOS is the newest version. Bios has little settings,
    severely curtailed company HP.

    When I turn on laptop the screen black , the BIOS does not start. I read that I need to remove a few leg on CPU.

    then the motherboard will start ....
