O/S windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
bios v1.29
graphics informatio mobile intel 4 seris express chipset family
2 physical cores
2 logical cores
when i start the laptop it boots up into a bios type screen v1.29
it detects 1 processor with 2 cores to a processor,
it reconises 2 of the 4 gig of ram installed
4096 kb l2 cache.
system and video bios shadowed
fixed disk 0 :wdc wd1600bevt - 22zcto
atapi cd rom
02f0 cpu id fb no microcode update loaded for alternative processor
it then says to continue press F1, once i do that windows boots up and all seems to run fine,
Ive run the Intel Processor Diagnosis tool and it stops scanning and fails at brand string, when i turn off the "stop testing on fail" the rest of the scan passes everything. under the CPU1 box on the bottom right i get the following script (ill post it all as i dont know what will be of interest.

We do not need all that information.
You need to ask ACER what processors are supported by THEIR bios. Then, you can select from those.
If you are having trouble with Windows 7, sorry, windows 7 is dead and there is no support here for obsolete/discontinued products.
