Intel ME stands for Management Engine. It is a subsystem on Intel's chipsets that does some preliminary hardware setup before the main CPU is "enabled" (released from reset).
The intel ME has its own firmware, like the BIOS, which is stored in the ME region of the SPI flash chip.
The ME is part of every Intel's system since from 2006.
If the ME firmware doesn't load properly, then the main BIOS will not function properly.
