    since my sempron is too slow, i just bought a turion x2 64 TL-56
    i thought there is not that much difference (25W to 31W)
    and also in manual i saw this model has also this cpu too.

    but, when i mount the cpu, all i can do is to start pc, see post screen, pressing bios, and reset...
    reset loops, and no movements...

    i just remount the sempron and flashed to bios to latest, still same with turion.

    i need a good bios trick or flash for this one
    like this example

    Sorry I can’t be of any help, but it is odd that in the repair manual for the F500 and G6000 series, only one system board is listed, 442875-001. Only one fan/heat sink assembly is listed too, 431450-001, but when you get to the processor section, the TL-56, TK-53, and Sempron 3600+ specifically says for use with F550-F579 and G6000 models only. It looks like they are using completely different bios files that include support for the CPUs for those models

    I did not see any bios trick in the page that you referenced, only the fact of using a bios with SLIC 2.1, and that is just used for activating Windows, nothing special. From the looks of the repair manual, your model should be able to use the TL-58 CPU, and that can be had for $7 shipped, LINK.
