Unknown CPU detected, BIOS update required to unleash its full power

[Doffy]

Hello.

I did not have this problem until I updated my BiOS some time ago. Now I have updated my BiOS again and again, but the message won't disappear.

Here's a CPU identification repotr:

I found this on the ASUS site

or you might try clearing CMOS first, doubt it could hurt and it's easy.
But I also saw that, if you received a support disk with your machine, there should be a BIOS recovery/update program there.
I hope one of these will work for you. Good luck and thanks for posting your system specs.

The BIOS don't normally require any updating except possibly after a major change to your system.

I think my CPU is supported by my motherboard. As for the clearing of the CMOS, I tried that before, but not after I updated my BiOS the last time. Ill try it and see if it helps.

@ Tedster: I already know how to update my BiOS, I used EZ FLash 2.
