Hi:
When you get a microcode error, if you installed a different processor, it either means you have to update the BIOS to the latest version, or you installed an incompatible processor.
See page 8 of the HP Quickspecs for your PC at the link below for the list of supported processors...
HP Compaq 6000 Pro Business PC (bargainhardware.co.uk)
If you need to update the BIOS, I strongly recommend you use the F10 BIOS Setup flash method to update the BIOS, since you are running Windows 10, and not a supported operating system the Windows based flash was designed to run on.
Be alert for scammers posting fake support phone numbers and/or email addresses on the community.
