[rp748]

Download this file and extract all files into bootable USB stick with DOS.
Boot from USB stick with DOS and run FlashBin.exe. Make a foto with the result on the screen to post here.
Reboot and make BIOS backup by Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0. I need to see it.

Hi

Does this file can be flashed to XW-4200 with P4 651 (was P4 551) with the same 1801 error?

No, you have different system.
Make DOS USB-stick (e.g, by Rufus), download and unzip all files for the modded version of CHECKUP7 to this DOS USB-stick.
Download latest microcode for CPUID=0xF65, rename it to PEP.DAT and copy (with replacement) to this DOS USB-stick.
Boot from this DOS USB-stick and make a photo of the screen with results.

Yes.
None of the usb flash tools (rufus etc.) could read the ucode.iso file.

Unpack \Floppy\UCODE.IMG by UniExtract and copy all files (with replacement) to DOS USB-stick.

No, CHECKUP7 isn't compatible with this system.
