New Intel CPU error

Jasper - 3/12/07 at 10:08 AM

I've just installed a new Quad Core CPU in my machine. Now when I fire up the PC I get an error message straight up - uCode Loading Error Press F1 to continue.

Once I press F1 everything then starts up fine ...... any ideas?

Update the bios on the mobo, it doesn't recognise the code the CPU gives it.

Silly question - is the mobo designed for a quad core cpu?

Yup - checked with Scan who I bought it from, it's only 12 months only and was a decent Asus one at the time.

I'll update the Bios when I get home - thanks chaps.

And BTW - excellent service from Scan, arrived next day and very helpful on the phone.....
