How does a motherboard recognize and configure the CPU?

Answer 1

The instructions required for a motherboard to recognize and configure the basic features of the CPU's it can support are part of its BIOS software. Software drivers for more advanced features come with the OS or are supplied by the manufacturer.

Answer 2

hey ... the type of your motherbord should be displayed when starting the computer ... maybe it flashes for a short time, maybe you see some logo until your system is loaded

but anyway you should be able to load the BIOS, which is your motherboards most basic system

when starting your computer watch close what text appears, at the bottom some highlighted instructions should appear ... like "Press DEL to enter setup" ... or maybe F4 or something like that ...

so ... when starting the computer you can start That key and BIOS should appear ... all is blue ... you have the basic setup of what your computer is ...

with the left, right up down key navigate through the tabs ... somewhere (not every BIOS is the same so i cannot really give you an instruction where you find it) you see Motherboard: [the name of your motherboard] (write it up, you will not be able to recall it - :D )

you should go out of the BIOS: ESC, but you dont need to save because you didnt save anything, the computer restarts, your system starts, Google your motherboard

this is it :))))

Answer 3

When the BIOS Setup configuration jumper is set to configure mode and the computer is powered-up, the BIOS compares the CPU version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the two match.

Answer 4

Actually, the CPU configures the motherboard. The CPU or central processing unit gives commands and information to the motherboard so the computer operates efficiently.
