Update microcode in Phoenix BIOS (non UEFI)

Hi, Guys!

I'm have a bios backup with the help of the universal bios backup toolkit 2.0 program. My laptop is Lenovo Tninkpad 14 (E40) type 0578-A19 (Motherboard chipset: Intel Ibex Peak-M HM55, Intel Ironlake-M). I'm replaced the processor (i3 330m -> i7 840qm (cpuid: 106E5)) and the laptop starts, but there is an error of BSOD 0x000000a5 (BIOS is not ACPI). I'm think you need to update the microcode in the BIOS. I'm sticking a link to the BIOS and the microcodes that I would like to update in the BIOS. microcodes that I would like to update (cpuid): 20652 and 106E5.
Could you help me?
P.S. I didn’t succeed in updating via sbrom (ver. 1.55 and older version), maybe you can help me if you are not difficult or tell me how to do it.

There are two bios backup through winphlash64 and the Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0. I'm don’t know how they differ, but the sizes are different for these BIOS backups.

BIOS type: Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.1

CBROM + MCextractor:

Phoenix BIOS editor pro 2.2.1.3 build 3605 cannot open these backups either.

Phoenix BIOS editor pro - open file LENOVO-80ET65WW(2.05).rom:

Thank you for any help!
