I got a pc which was in need for an bios upgrade. I downloaded the bios update from the HP site.

After the installation/upgrade from the bios and we restarted te pc we got the error:

ERROR: Unsupported CPU installed
PC will automatically power down in a few second.

The PC is a HP Pavilion a6210 Motherboard: 945gct-hm CPU: Intel pentium dual CPU E2140

We can't get into the bios, try a new bios upgrade from USB or anything

The HP support seems to be going nowhere since all they want is money money money Anyone else had an similar issue? how to restore or anything?

I'm not surprised, that motherboard supports;

  • Core 2 Duo (Conroe) up to E4300
  • Pentium D (Presler) up to 960 (3.6 GHz)
  • Pentium 4 (Cedar Mill) up to 661 (3.6 GHz)
  • Celeron D (Cedar Mill) up to 365 (3.6 GHz)
  • Celeron D (Prescott) up to 355 (3.33GHz)

The E2140 is an Allendale chip, so you're out of luck.
