AMD Sempron™ Processor BIOS Update

 

The AMD Sempron™ processor is designed to redefine everyday computing and performs at the top of its class when running the home and business applications that you need most.

Getting The Latest BIOS For A Positive User Experience
In order to help ensure proper support of your AMD Sempron processor, you may be required to update the BIOS on your motherboard so that the processor is properly recognized. Outdated BIOS may result in an incorrectly identified or unidentified processor. If the processor is incorrectly recognized, some processor features may not be available and the processor may run at the incorrect frequency.

Here are some simple steps to help ensure you get the latest BIOS from your motherboard manufacturer:
  1. Go to your motherboard vendor’s Web site
  2. Visit their “Support” and/or “Downloads” Web page
  3. Download the latest BIOS supporting your motherboard
  4. Follow the instructions and install the BIOS on your AMD Sempron processor-based PC system
