UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR
The UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR bug check has a value of 0x0000005D. This indicates that the computer is attempting to run Windows on an unsupported processor.
UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR Parameters
None
Cause
Windows requires a higher-grade processor than the one you are using.
Diagnostic focus
Check the exact CPU family, model, stepping, and required feature bits against the Windows build being booted. Also verify firmware virtualization settings and whether a hypervisor masks processor capabilities. The stop reflects an unsupported execution platform, not a transient CPU utilization or thermal problem.
