Important Information About BIOS/UEFI Compatibility

When using certain combinations of processors and motherboards, the correct version of the BIOS or UEFI is crucial. An incorrect version might prevent the system from booting – not even into the BIOS, let alone the operating system.

This issue primarily affects motherboards that support processors from different generations. In the best-case scenario, the latest BIOS version supports all processors. However, in many cases, each processor generation requires a separate BIOS or UEFI version.

This means: Ensure the correct BIOS version is installed before changing your processor. Please check in advance which version you need and whether you can perform the update yourself.
