    BIOS updates are for specific reasons ...if your MBoard manuf does not list one i'm afraid your outta luck.
    Flashing with the wrong BIOS can create an expensive paperweight/boat anchor.

      well i have no option but to get new bios unfortunatly...im calling intel ASAP this morning and talking to them about solutions....its not that they dont support new bios im sure because like litterally ALL other processors are listed on thier site besides mine...i dunno...the memory is over heating...honestly...they are getting sued for building a computer that fails if the memory is EVER removed if they fail to tell me what i want to hear when i call them...that basic lemon law...

      First of all, that is a low end laptop processor, not designed for overclocking hence the lack of settings.

      Second of all, how do you know the memory is overheating?  Memory almost never overheats.

      Mucking around with the memory timings to make it run cooler is only going to lead to instability.

      Have fun suing them.  What do you mean about it failing if you remove the memory?  You removed the memory and now it doesn't work?  That sounds like you broke something.
