Dell Inspiron 9100 CPU Microcode Help!!
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2006 3:29 am
Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 with latest Bios (A06).
I have swapped CPU from 3.2Ghz Prescott to 2.66Ghz Northwood CPU.
CPU is recognised OK, but after BIOS posts I get an error message saying that CPU is unsupported on this platform, press F1 to continue.
After that all is normal and windows loads and runs OK.
Can someone help to get rid of this message??
I have read forums here all day and I think if I can add microcode for the (earlier) Northwood P4 then all should be well.
However the Dell's BIOS is Phoenix and most info here relates to Award BIOS.
Please help
Much appreciated.
Pete
