[REQUEST] DELL 3020 SFF support for low TDP i7

[kojenci]

I have a DELL 3020 and when I replaced the i3 4160 processor with i7 4785T the loading is stucked with Amber error code for CPU fault.
Can you check if this problem could be solved with a modified BIOS?

Download Intel ME System Tools v9.1
I need results of MEInfo on this laptop.

I only have usb bootable windows 10 now (a portable one).
I'll check the errors, why it's not working as expected.

Probably I have to use the service jumper.

You can make DOS UBS stick (e.g, by Rufus) and run DOS-version of MEInfo. I need only version information.
Or try to find current version ME in BIOS.

I'm working on it. The BIOS update file shows this.
