While I was setting up this machine for a Trixbox project, I've encountered an error during the first bootup of the machine. My machine was an ASUS P5PE-VM motherboard,socket 775 with a Core 2 Duo processor and 2 Gigs of memory.
Intel CPU uCode loading error
Press F1 to resume...
Solution:
UPDATE BIOS.
Go get the latest BIOS update from support.asus.com.
1. Download the latest BIOS Update. ( It is important that you download the BIOS update that matches your motherboard's model.)
Download - P5PE-VM - Version 1501
2. Save the downloaded file on a floppy disk.
3. Boot from the boards Support Cd. Browse the floppy disk.
4. To obtain a backup of your latest Bios settings, type:
afudos /0filename
5. Finally to update the BIOS, type:
afudos /ifilename <-- Type here the filename of the BIOS Update. It ends with a .rom file.
Important: The machine should not be restarted while the update is running.
After the update, restart. You should now boot with no problem.
