HP Processor microcode error?

I bought an HP 7600 desktop on eBay and Im getting a weird error message after upgrading the CPU, "Missing or invalid processor microcode update, please contact HP for a new microcode update to support the new processor stepping". The system boots if I push F1, my question is: is it bad for the CPU and/or motherboard to run the machine as-is without a new BIOS update?

    Okay b has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

    Put the old processor back in, update the BIOS drivers, and you're good to go.
