HELP Please! Microcode error, not sure what to do!

Installed a q6600 in an HP WX 4400.

 

How do I make this work? Update bios?

That is what it is telling you to do yes

The wx4400 only lists a bios update on the site, the wx4600 (higher spec model) lists a microcode and bios update. But this is a wx4400.

Updating bios requires the machine boot. Godamnit

Well the microcode is inside the bios. Did Version 02.07 BIOS not work for you? It's dated 2010 so it should.

HP only supports the q6600 on the xw4600, not the xw4400. The bios update for the xw4400 does not contain the corrrct microrocode. So due to swapping the motherboard for the one out of my 3D printer host pc...

 

TIME TO INSTALL WINDOWS AGAIN

 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
