Simply updating the bios does not mean the cpu will work, once again, the mb HAS TO SUPPORT the new cpu.
Find your board on the internet and see what cpu`s it will support.
Usually this is done BEFORE you purchase any upgrades for your motherboard.
None the less it is still worth a try
Ok cool, so then again: what is the model of your computer? Perhaps we can see if there's a CPU Support List or something like that.
a6000 hp desktop, i actually thought i posted that earlyer but i guess not.
also it isn't completely stock i have had to replace the gpu and hard drive before hand
also if that doesn't help here's the specs:

We need the exact model as written on the pc case, giving the specs really won't help when looking for the latest bios update or upgrading the cpu.
