In an update released on Wednesday, MSI announced a series of BIOS updates to address the "Unsupported_Processor" error that has been impacting users of their Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) 600/700 series motherboards. The error, which has caused Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) incidents on certain hardware configurations, was first announced a few weeks ago following the most recent Windows 11 update.
The issue is related to the firmware setting of Intel Hybrid Architecture and specifically affects users of Intel's 13th generation i9 processors paired with certain versions of Windows. These versions include Windows 11 KB5029351, KB5029332, and Windows 10 KB5029331 updates.
The BIOS updates are set to include an update to the Intel CPU uCode, which will prevent further "Unsupported_Processor" error messages. MSI has already begun releasing these updates for many of their motherboard designs. The company plans to release further BIOS updates for all affected Intel motherboards by the end of this week.
In addition to the immediate releases, MSI is planning comprehensive BIOS updates for all MSI 600/700 series Intel motherboards by the end of this month. The upcoming updates will cater to both 13th-generation and newer processors.
MSI has advised users experiencing the "Unsupported Processor" BSOD issue to check their official website for available BIOS updates that can resolve this problem.
