Update Intel Microcode Properly | Intel Microcode Problem Ubuntu [SOLVED]

Hey friends I've recently heard that many of Ubuntu users are facing problems while they're trying to Intel Microcode and they get a output as following:

dmesg | head -n1

But don't worry here is the simple solution for the said problem simply follow the steps below:

Verify you have updated properly or not:

Before proceeding further first you need to verify that you have updated the said properly or not as sometimes our problem had been already solved but we still search for solution. So, it is better to first verify your Update status. For this follow these steps: 

1. make sure you have the package iucode-tool:

   sudo apt-get install iucode-tool
   

2. Create temp folder:

   mkdir /tmp/micro
   

3. "Unpack" this microcode.dat file to a temporary location:

   iucode_tool -K/tmp/micro microcode.dat
   

4. You can now check if there's a more recent microcode file using:

   modprobe cpuid && iucode_tool -tb -lS /tmp/micro
   

   (or wherever you unpacked the microcodes to).
   On my old Core 2 Duo the output is like this:

   iucode_tool: system has processor(s) with signature 0x0001067a
   selected microcodes:
   001: sig 0x0001067a, pf mask 0xa0, 2010-09-28, rev 0x0a0b, size 8192
   002: sig 0x0001067a, pf mask 0x11, 2010-09-28, rev 0x0a0b, size 8192
   003: sig 0x0001067a, pf mask 0x44, 2010-09-28, rev 0x0a0b, size 8192
   

5. Compare this to the output of:

   dmesg | grep "updated"
   

   Sample output:

   [    1.056012] microcode: CPU0 updated to revision 0xa0b, date = 2010-09-28
   [    1.112010] microcode: CPU1 updated to revision 0xa0b, date = 2010-09-28
   

   This shows that my system already uses the most recent microcode.

If said is not updated properly then don't worry here is the solution.

Solution:

For permanent solution use respiratory method:

1. Install the following packages:

   sudo apt-get install microcode.ctl intel-microcode
   

2. Reboot your computer.
3. Now check whether the microcode has been loaded properly, with the following terminal command:

   dmesg | grep microcode
   

   If all is well you should see several reports about the applied microcode.

Hopefully it works for you.............
