After I reload everything due to the CIH virus the audio and video is causing a hard freeze.
DFI's website says about the virus:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" If your system is infected by the CIH computer virus where the system BIOS may have been corrupted, you must:
Perform the Clear CMOS (BIOS) operation. (please refer to the user manual on how to perform this operation.)
Please contact your local vendor/reseller on how to obtain a new BIOS EEPROM chip to restore your system. "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REALLY? Does anyone think I really need to get a new chip? I may ignorant here but it seems like a software virus couldn't affect your hardware to the point you had to get it replaced.
<insert suck up statement here>THANKS IN ADVANCE....ANYONE WHO KNOWS THIS MUCH ABOUT BIOS AND WILLING TO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE FOR FREE IS GOING BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY.
