2. How to clean ME/TXE region
Cleaning ME/TXE region is required after replacing the PCH or the SoC. Sometimes the ME region gets corrupted on its own and it also required cleaning.
Cleaning ME/TXE region consists in replacing the existing ME/TXE region in the BIOS dump by a fresh, non-paired one, retaining the manufacturer's configuration.
Symptoms when ME region cleaning may be required include:
- Shutdown after 30 minutes (unrelated cause is using Core i3/i5/i7 with HM70 PCH, cleaning ME region won't help)
- Slow POST
- Fans spinning at full speed
- Intel MEI not working in Device Manager
- In case of Apple machine, macOS reboots or freezes during boot
- No POST
