BIOS Updates forum

Need more info (no BIOS ID string).

For what reasons do you need an upgrade?

Thanks.

The PCChips Lottery has been gone for some time now.

Thanks.

Are you sure that the DVD-ROM Drive is installed properly?

This could be a USB timing issue.

The simplest solution is to just do what you are already doing.

Thanks.

Thank you for your post DoZe2, but I'm not looking to get anything "back".

Thanks.

Hey all - It's been a while since I visited this thread...mostly because there hasn't been anything new to report. :wink: Well...that all changed a few days ago. :( I came home to find out that we had a mini power failure during a storm. No biggie...the DFI just reboots itself and sits there waiting...

When I dig out my copy, I'll send you the "L" version (and whatever else I have).

Thanks.

@Jan -

Did you patch the "L" or the "S" BIOS?

@Jan - The only way I will be able to do that is if I hand the board over to a "professional" solderer...which would be easy if I was still working at my previous location. :( I'll check for the BIOS though. I would be interested to know if anyone else has this problem with their PM7900 (Rev. 1.3 II...

You can use something like Everest to view them.

Changing them is another story.

Thanks.

Yes...if you mean remove only one set (since something must be connected to the 3.3V source ).

@cp - How would a picture help? The only place VCore is *supposed* to go is to the CPU. On these boards, four jumpers are inserted into the VRM slot when a single plane CPU is installed. Pulling the jumpers separates the planes from +3.3V so that the VRM can do its thing. When I pull the jumpers, th...

Inefficiency does not mean that it won't work...

Yup...that's true too.

@edwin -

The VCore and V I/O planes are shorted together internally...so that pretty much kills using a VRM untill I can separate them (somehow).

I bought an HP VRM (switching type) that will run a 233MMX...but I indended to modify it to run other CPU's (resistor selection).

Thanks.
