I updated the BIOS of my Rampage Formula to the latest version 0902 (from factory 0408 or 0410, don't remember which one). The system was not overclocked at that time and I did "Load Setup Defaults" before flashing. The update process apparently was a success - EZ Flash did not report any errors and the BIOS version is reported correctly in the "System Information" section.
The problem is that from now on during every boot I get the following message:
This is VERY odd. It seems that BIOS thinks it does not support the installed CPU (I have an E8600). But I know for sure that E8600 IS supported and it has been supported since much older BIOS versions. What makes this message even more out of place is that the CPU model/ratio/GHz rating are all reported correctly within BIOS.
This message didn't use to appear before. I can ignore it and the system will continue to start the OS and there are no problems there - everything works as it should.
I tried clearing CMOS (let the battery sit out of the board for ~10 hours) + "Load Setup Defaults" but that didn't help. Another option is reflashing again (I'm almost sure it won't help) or flashing to an earlier version, but before I do, what else could I try? What are the possible reasons for this message to appear in my case?

To unleash this CPU´s full power, please perform BIOS update process.
