    Hello,

    I currently have a Tornado F5 laptop, that runs on an intel i5-6400 CPU.
    This works pretty good, but there is some bottlenecking in some games.
    Therefore i purchased an i7-7700. This CPU fits in the socket, but when installing it and booting up the laptop a black screen is all i get.
    Does this have to do with my BIOS?
    If so, how can i obtain the correct bios to make this work?

    I have read a lot about flashing the bios, but i couldn't get a download that contains the FLASH.bat file and i have no idea how to get it.
    Can somebody please explain me how to get the update, and if the i7-7700 will work after it?
