bios update
Hmm. Some good reading here, Greg. Also, ensure your BIOS actually IS the
most current. Also go into the BIOS during POST, and check (don't change) the assorted performance-related settings. Settings that have words like: Optimal, or Default, or Performance, or Fast, or Ultra. You get the idea. Make some notes. Then visit the web page that is maintained by your mobo manuf., (or your BIOS manuf.), and explore the info relating to the settings that you noted. Then and only then, you can [slowly & carefully] make one change at a time...and reboot...and see the effect. It's a great learning experience...and you might even eliminate your problem! Please post a follow-up. Ron http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,64804,00.asp |

bios update
The problem I am having is a known issue. MS K B Article
#283649. What I suspect has happened is that the tech., who never heard of BIOS updates, may have erred while performing the task. He left a program running on my pc when he did the update; my anti-virus AVG. This may have interfered with the update, as, the files he unzipped were Titled AVG.... I am not familiar with using dos, but obtaining the info that way will help explian my situation to the mo bo manufacturer. I live in an isolated rural area and its hard to get good techs out here. If its not too hard an operation, good you please provide the steps to obtain my BIOS data during post. Thnx Greg -----Original Message----- Hmm. Some good reading here, Greg.
