I have a problem. My computer was with windows 98 and worked fine. I installed XP yesterday and strangely enough the pc is jamming and switching off the monitor just after 2 minutes appx of activity after booting.

I have bios version 1.10

I found on driverguide ( since fastfame website is no longer available ) a file 8ife.120 which should be bios 1.40. It is 256K but the extension is not .bin but .120. I extracted it with winrar and came a bin file of appx 128Kb. Though when I try with uniflash or awdflash in dos it is telling me that is an appropriate file size and when I did a backup of my bios it came to a size of 256K. Can someone please help me out on what to do ? I tried already for 2 days trying to sort out this problem but to no avail and dont want to ruin my mainboard.

Thanks
