MSI mainboard, please provide the full OEM signon string (see instructions) .

It may be possible this string looks like this :
W6399M7 V1.14 012903 10:30:00 MEDIONPC.

This would then relate to a OEM MSI mainboard for Medion - www.medion.com

Hi Deniss,

the complete string is 6513M7 V1.59 01290310:19:00 MEDIONPC.
I already downloaded the BIOS update from the Medion hompeage, it did not help. Even worse: the computer does not start any longer, it turns into an endless loop at ther starting sequence. When I enter the BIOS setup now, it even does not recognize the new hd any longer (is configured as slave).

Any idea appreciated.

Cheers, Thomas

If this string is your original BIOS, tell me which file are you downloaded to update it, because there are no updates.
You has the latest one.

Dear Kuriaki:
this is the string after downloading: 6513M7 V1.59 01290310:19:00 MEDIONPC, it is the upgraded bios message.
Please visit km 52 for me in the national park south of cancun - great spot.

Dear Denis:
Unfortunately I do not have the Bios-ID and OEM message of the original Bios

Do you think disconnecting the new hd and restart would help?

Cheers

Thomas
