P5W DH Deluxe - Intel µCode Loading Error

**Mousey** · Dec 28, 2008, 03:36 PM

Got a minor beef with this mobo i'm running that's perfectly functional despite this little blip that resets my overclocks ect when it starts up.
Every time i start the machine it will say Intel CPU µCode Loading Error. Now if i remember rightly a µCode translates as a micro code correct me if i'm wrong so something's not being read right by the mobo?

. I've tried disabling µCode update in the BIOS and no luck there m'fraid

The E4500 i'm running came out after the mobo was released so the first thing i did was hit up asus's support site and get the newest non-beta bios, it seems the newer beta ones have been scrapped to my annoyance.
However this hasn't fixed the problem, now the board is great, lots of space and everything works fine (besides the µCode) which is why i'm determined to get this issue resolved rather than buy a new mobo because i'm fairly strapped for cash

I haven't checked the Asus support site in a while so there might be some new ones, gonna go check once i'm done posting.
At one point i had a theory that the cmos battery was dead but that got dismissed quickly because all my date and times were still set properly in the bios.

Yes i've tried clearing cmos ect and it hasn't helped. That's how i lost my 2.96 and 3.08 ghz overclocks much to my disappointment.

Any help much appreciated guys

Update - Checked out the ASUS Support site and there was a new BIOS Revision to download, i was running 2704 there's 2801 available now so i'm gonna go update.
I'll let you know how it went and if it fixed it

Update - New revision seems to have fixed the problem, running 2.97ghz now, rebooted several times and it hasn't moaned about the µCode so i think it's all sorted
