Hi, I changed the (burned) processor i3-5005U SR244
and I have a problem turning off the laptop after 30 minutes.
I tried different bios with cleaning but it doesn’t help.

The ME firmware region needs cleaning after changing the SoC. Also, it seems that the BIOS firmware region is corrupt. I’ve prepared two SPI images, one with ME cleaned and another with ME cleaned & BIOS/EC replaced with the latest (A17) stock ones from Dell.

On two bios turns off after 30 minutes
How did you flash them? Did you use a programmer? Run MEInfo tool with parameter “-verbose” which can be found at Intel ME System Tools v10 from Intel Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools and show us the result.
I programmed with external programmer SPI

Well it says Image Failure which makes no sense unless the programmer is not re-writing the SPI flash. Make sure that the programmer is actually reading & writing properly first because the only other alternative I can think of is bad hardware.
I did not use fptw -greset apply?
The programmer I use every day is ok .
SPI is programmed and verified correctly.
edit
I changed the SPI bone to a new one and reprogrammed with verification OK.
I used fptw -greset (success) the laptop has reset but nothing has changed in MeInfo.
The processor was from another functional mainboard with the same MeRegion 10.0.30.1072 read from the donor’s main.
The other BIOS also has the same corruption which is strange. Did you use the firmware from the other system? No matter what, the problem is neither at the Engine firmware nor the BIOS because we’ve cleaned/replaced both. The error Image Failure should point to an inability to read the firmware or firmware corruption. The latter cannot be though so maybe the failure to read the firmware is the result of a faulty SPI chip? I can’t think of something else.
SPI I replaced from another mainboard (I wrote above).
Maybe move MeRegion from donor to my orginal.bin ??
Did you use the firmware from the other system? what do you mean??
Honestly, I don’t know what else to suggest. The firmware should be just fine (provided that you are sure both mainboards were the same SKU) so that leaves hardware.
I have no Intel Management Engine Interface in the "device manager".
"Platform is not supported" during installation Chipset_Driver_T8DP7_WN32_10.0.30.1072_A00.EXE
Obviously, the software cannot work if the hardware or firmware is faulty. As I said many times, if we exclude firmware (clean/working ME & stock/working BIOS-EC), only hardware remains. Did you replace the SoC with a known compatible one based on Dell specifications? Did you replace the SPI chip with an identical one? Are you certain that both of these are not faulty?
Yes, SoC according to servicetag 338-BIVU : 5th Generation Intel(R) Core™ i3-5005U Processor (3M Cache, 2.00 GHz)
from another motherboard purchased on a donor as functional… i couldn’t check it out. SPI is identical.
Then I have nothing else to suggest unfortunately
However SR27G is soldered instead of SR244 !!
