Hi:
Below is the link to the HP quickspecs for your PC.
HP Compaq 6000 Pro Business PC (highspeedbackbone.net)
The list of supported processors can be found on page 8.
The Q6600 is not a supported processor, which is why you are getting that error.
You could try installing the Microcode update with the slight chance it may resolve the issue.
