Hey,
I really need help with the installation of my drivers.
I currently have the problem that as soon as I try to install the drivers from my current CPU, I always get the same error message. Exit code: 8

 

I have provided a screenshot and the logs.

 

Thanks for any help!

That screen is an indication that either,

  1. The internal graphics engine in your processor is disabled. This would be the case if you have an add-in graphics card and are using default settings in the BIOS. You need to go into BIOS Setup, browse to the settings related to graphics, and change the setting to indicate that the internal graphics engine should always be enabled.
  2. The driver package that you are using is not compatible with your processor. The package that you want to use for this processor can be found here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/762755/764512. The version, 31.0.101.2115, is likely to be the final version released that retained support for this 9 year-old processor.

Hope this helps,
