Hi.
Like many others I tried to upgrade my B960 to i3 2328m & i7 2670m.
Like many others I got 30 min perfectly working laptop after upgrade. (it restarts each 30 minutes).
Downgrade back to B960 solves this problem (no unwilling restarts)
Some users say that its a "low budget laptop" restriction for upgrade incorporated by Intel in HM 70 (at least as an option for oem vendors).
Many others say that resoldering to HM 75/76/77 chipset is the only option to upgrade to "I" CPUs (that reaffirms "low budget" statement)
I tried to think about it for a moment:
we have "limited" chipset
it has a timer, that turns off the power
I bet it is part of the BIOS that checks for "right" plugged CPU.
Also I guess its a chipset firmware CPU verification - so that must be (un / modified) Intel ME firmware.
So my question is:
Where can I get functional description of the HM-70 CPU binding feature in ME firmware?
