    They should have at least released microcode updates for all processors based on the Nehalem architecture. And as mentioned in another thread, there is still no mention of most desktop Ivy Bridge or Haswell processors.

    :)

    when will Microsoft deliver Intel microcode updates for Ivy bridge?

    Intel released the update mitigating Spectre variant 2 about 20 days ago!!

    Intel Microcode Revision Guidance for Spectre variant 2 - April 2

    DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE - The bugcheck was: 0x0000009f (0x0000000000000004, 0x000000000000012c, 0xffffd7803bfa1040, 0xffffd68a0bc8f810)

    It may also be the BIOS update . Intel released some bad instructions and the Bios updates were pulled this month . There are many posts on the Dell website about the same issue you are experiencing from people who got the bad BIOS update. If you cant roll
    back the BIOS you will need to wait for an updated BIOS. I believe some of them said that disabling the PPT in BIOS solved some issues. You might also check if your BIOS can be rolled back or if they have released a new one yet.

    This notice from Dell on 1/22/18

    Patch Guidance:

    Update 01/22/2018:

    Intel has communicated new
    guidance     regarding the "reboot issues" with the microcode included in the BIOS updates released to address Spectre (Variant 2), CVE-2017-5715.
    Dell is advising that all customers should not deploy the BIOS update for the Spectre (Variant 2) vulnerability at this time. We are removing the impacted BIOS updates from the web and suspending further BIOS updates for affected platforms.

    If you have already applied the BIOS update, please wait for further information and an updated BIOS release, no other action is recommended at this point. Please continue to check back for updates.

    As a reminder, the Operating System patches are not impacted and still provide mitigations to Spectre (Variant 1) and Meltdown (Variant 3). The microcode update is only required for Spectre (Variant 2), CVE-2017-5715.

    Most desktop Ivy Bridge processors are not listed in the guidance. But as AndreTen pointed out, the microcode update for mobile Ivy Bridge processors seems to include the desktop processors.
