This HP document definitely applies to the issue.
What is the operatng system that is currently installed?
If you have Vista installed you should install the following update. Microcode update for HP 768E BIOS Family Computers with Intel Processors

Hi MOndo7299:
Thank you for your post. I am glad to help!
I assume that the P in the your post is for Processor. The "1801Mocrocode update error" is telling you to update the CPU. There is more then one way to do this. You can do this by downloading and running the HP Support Assistant. click here, to aid in updating drivers and resolving issues. You can update from Device Manager. Open Device Manager, right click on the processor and you should see an option to update. You could also check the manufacturer's site for any updates. For your convenience I am sending documentation on "Downloading or Updating Software and Drivers for HP Computers" click here. If you require further assistance would you please provide your exact model number, and what changes you have made. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? click here.
