Paul,
Thank you very much for your information. I had exact the same error
message and it stays even after I updated the bios to the latest. I
have a Compaq D510 Ultra Slim p4-1.6. I did step 2 of your proposal
and found the version is 0. Can you please help me with the
following questions
1) what can I do to load the microcode into the bios and change the
version?
2) I have another same cpu installed on another desktop, its version
is 4. Can I just swap them and will it work?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Regards, David
The microcode version is a reflection of the BIOS of the motherboard.
The motherboard that returns "4" has a better BIOS than the
Compaq that returns "0".
If the BIOS was made by Award, you could try CTMC to fix it.
Or, you could contact HP/Compaq tech support, and ask them
if there is a BIOS upgrade to handle whatever processor you
have plugged into the Compaq.
I don't know how to take one of these apart, so I cannot
even look at it, to determine what kind of BIOS it is.
Sorry.

The release notes for the D510, say that the 1.08 BIOS
updated the microcode support. The 1.09 is a later
release:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/evodesktop/us/revision/6254.html
"Updates microcode patch for Intel Pentium 4 C1 processors."
To know whether that flash ROM upgrade (1.08 or 1.09) would help,
you need to know which of these processors you have plugged into
the Compaq motherboard:

There is always a danger, that flashing the BIOS can result in
a non-working motherboard. Badflash.com can send you a new ROM
for $25 or so if that happens.
