(8016) error code SPORE
Hello, I just got a new laptop with windows 10, and I downloaded spore via origin. when I click play I get the error: A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed...
Forum Discussion
I can confirm after much research, trial and error that this error occurs in Asus Z170 (Skylake) motherboards whose BIOS has not been updated.
The most recent BIOS from Asus resolved this issue for me. No downgrade to Windows 7 was required. My research indicates that Gigabyte Z170 motherboards are also affected. I would recommend that the best solution to the 8016 problem for people who have Z170 motherboards is to update their BIOS.
i have a Z170 mother board. nut i wana know how to update BIOS?
