That processor should be supported, so here is how you update the microcode to get rid of that error...

I have zipped up and attached below, 3 files.

Get a blank USB flash drive.

Plug the drive into your PC and run sp27608 which will format the drive so that it is bootable.

Once that is done, copy the file contents of the DOS System Files folder to the flash drive.  Just the files, not the folder.

Then copy the file contents of sp33313 to the flash drive.  Just the files, not the folder.

Restart the PC and boot it from the USB flash drive.

It should arrive at a command prompt.

At the command prompt type Flashbin.exe and press the enter key.

Follow the onscreen instructions to update the microcode.
