POST Errors / BIOS Issue

$
0
0

I bought a Z240 Workstation on Ebay.  On Boot it had an error on bootup.  
"(A7) Me FW Downgrade - Request MeSpiLock Failed"

Researching this error led me to update the BIOS to version 1.78a
After the installation of this BIOS Update through HP I received the above error in addition to:
"Error sending End of Post message to ME: HECI disabled, proceeding with boot!"

 

Unfortunately, a BIOS restore is not possible.  I formatted the drive, and reinstalled windows.

All of my firmware is up-to-date through the drivers available on the website.

I have disabled Intel AMT, which I don't need anyway.  That has removed the "(A7) Me FW Downgrade - Request MeSpiLock Failed" error.  However the "Error sending End of Post message to ME: HECI disabled, proceeding with boot!" error still exists.

The Intel Management Engine Software V11.0 software will not install saying it's not for my platform.

 

I would appreciate any help available.
