BIOS Updates forum

I tend to agree. Sometimes the problem is the bios chip, and a new one will fix it, but many times there is something wrong with the CMOS memory in the chipset, and there is no fixing that. Still, a replacement bios chip is cheaper than a new motherboard, and may be worth the risk. Be aware that the...
