I am in the process of setting up a ThinkServer TD350 with a Intel Xeon E52650V3 2.3Ghz Processor, and a TD-350/E5-2600 Motherboard, 16GB of 2R x 4 PC4 1700R RDIMM RAM.
The server is running Windows Server 2016. BIOS and TDM (Thinkserver Deployment Manager) were both updated prior to installing the O/S and before attempting the chipset update.
From the device manager it shows "Intel(R) C610 series/X99 chipset SMBus Controller 8D22 Version 10.1.2.19 Dated 1/26/2016"
According to Lenovo's suggested downloads I am to install the Intel DD_INTEL_CHIPSET_10.1.2.77_Public_Win_x86x64.
Installing this update caused the server to go Blue Screen with the error code: WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR, for which the server gathered information and rebooted.
Lenovo suggested I download and run a (Microsoft Partnered) utility named Winthrust by Avangate/Solvusoft to clean up the registry, unused dll files etc. The program was to have 25 free uses. When I tried to apply the removal of said problems, it popped up a message that the free trial was expired and I had to buy the product, which I did for $30.00. I then found out from a Malwarebytes scan that this "utility" has a red flag warning that it is malware/spyware. I promptly removed the product. In a search I found numerous mentions that the Winthrust software utility and Avangate/Solvusoft was marketing a spyware product.
I have also run the Intel driver update utility. The Intel utility displayed that there was a suspended driver installation and that it should be removed. I allowed the Intel driver utility to clean things up. The Intel utility then indicated that there were NO driver updates needed.
I again tried to install the chipset update and the system went blue screen again with the same error. After the system rebooted I again ran the Intel driver update utility in which it again indicated that there was a suspended driver installation.
I now believe that the employees at Lenovo who have answered my questions about this problem do not have the correct information. Advising customers to download known malware/spyware for use indicates that Lenovo support may not have their customer's best interests in mind.
