[QUOTE=fdegrove;1279698]Hi,
That may be true for very old machines. Nowadays any bios worth its salt can be recovered.
In my entire career as a pc engineer I've never seen a single machine that couldn't been recovered unless it had hardware damage.
I have legacy BIOS so the Problem is in my BIOS not in Windows or anything else. MSI probably will never upgrade my BIOS so I am at their mercy.[As far as I know, Window sdoes not have the ability to load microcode after the fact, superseding what is in the BIOS (but I may be wrong on this if Microsoft is, in fact, offering update(s) via WU that are microcode-specific, as we seem to be seeing here recently). And if it does, then they have been doing this all along without many of us knowing about it.
But when the OS makes use of newer microcode, it does not overwrite the BIOS / UEFI./QUOTE]
It is possible to load microcode in Windows through third party software (from VMWare for instance) but I've never seen any evidence of microcode being updated by Windows itself, not ever. If it does then I'd like to see evidence of it.
Cheers,
