BIOS Updates forum

Yes, I found it counter-intuitive. You would think that if one stick was faulty, it would just boot on the good one (which was in fact in the first memory slot), and you would see that half your memory had disappeared. Or alternatively, if it didn't like booting with half its memory, that you would ...

I tried a new CMOS battery, but it made no difference. It turned out to be a faulty memory stick. With both good and bad sticks in, there were no error beeps, but with only the bad one in, I got beeps signifying that no memory was available.

Hmm. Wonder what it could be then? I suppose the video (which is integrated) and the membory might be the next suspects.

The above board is in a PC which was working fine until I put it on the shelf for about 5 months. I tried to boot it up again today, and there isn't a kick in it - there is no POST.

I'm also using Linux, so I'll have to find a Windows PC to sort out the boot disk, I think. I've downloaded all th...

Did you try the BIOS NickS sent you, and if so, what happened? I have the same mobo, and I'm thinking of trying to update the BIOS on it so that it can see two 80Gb drives, so I'm interested in your experiences.

I just bought one of these to put in a new PC, but on power-up, although the fans work fine, and the HDDs do an initial power-up, there are no POST beeps at all, and nothing is written to the screen. I've double-checked all the connections, and in fact disconnected everything except the processor an...
