BIOS Updates forum

Well - I took the computer i built into a local shop and they tested the 950mhz CPU and claimed it to be DOA. That still doesnt explain why my other computer does the same thing after testing the DOA CPU in my gigabyte board, and now the gigabyte board doesnt boot with my original CPU (1.2ghz). Mayb...

That is why both my computers do not send a video signal. Noone could find...

okay i took out the ram and put in good ram that i know for a fact works.

I know there have been numerous posts in the past about this issue but i cant seem to find one. Can someone give me a link to a previous post or tell me how to fix...

Hey all - I have the PC Chips M805LR motherboard (Socket A, 950mhz AMD Duron). Anyways - When i boot the system, the BIOS runs through its self tests then gives me a checksum error. On top of the checksum error, the hard drive will not even turn on! I know my PS is good and the HD is good (its only ...
