I updated the processor of my Compaq DC5700 SFF to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500.
As soon as I started the machine the processor´s fan began to work at maximum speed making a lot of noise.
Then a message was shown in a black screen: "1001-Microcode Update error. Missing or invalid microcode update ..."
I would like to know how to solve this problem.
Windows opens but the fan is always working at full and making so much noise. And I guess it will be burned pretty soon if the microcode is not entered to the BIOS ( I think ).
Mine is an old machine so I know that it´s a problem that many people had before me; so the solution should be well known but not for me.
Thank you for your help and God bless you !!!
