BIOS Updates forum

all is well plugged: the wire, the drive, the jumper with the 32 GB limit. It's rare, because the first configuration I used recognised the drive(when I plugged as slave), but since the second test plugging it as master, the bios doesn't arrive to the drives inspection- it arrives only to the "penti...

Thanks cp. It's possible that this can also be the reason of the errors

I have to add that the only beep I hear is the usual beep when I switch on the pc. No more beeps.

Hi cp! Thanks for your reply! I've tried what you commented and these are my results: The first configuration I've tried: primary master: CDRW primary slave: DVD drive secondary master: (none) secondary slave: 80GB drive in the 32GB limit jumper With this configuration the BIOS has recognized my 80G...

The power supply has broken down today and the PC does nothing now when I press the switch on button. I think the power supply was slowly breaking down because a lot of time before the pc became to have errors in unpredictable moments. I think there was an error apart from the described before becau...

you can use the oldfashioned DOS flash method from a bootable floppy disk. information on how to do that is available in the Bios FAQ section of the site. yes, you're right, I was wrong with the file to download. But one question: my revision is DA+. So what BIOS do I have to download? The D revisi...

Thanks edwin!

I will do these tests and I will tell you about the results.

Thanks edwin!

I will try these comments!

I will answer and tell you about the tests.

Hi people! I'm trying to use this motherboard, but I'm not sure how I have to configure the jumpers. I'm using AMD K6 II 550MHz, 3 RAM modules of 128MBytes each one, and I can read in the manual that it's a PC133: That's my current configuration, but the PC has a strange behaviour and it hangs or re...

Thanks Edwin!

I've seen now that the DFI drivers need a Windows installation to update the bios. At the moment, it's quite difficult for me because I don't have any old drive that the bios can recognize.

Anyway, I will try it in some way.

I forgot to tell you that the ST380011A drive is the drive I want the motherboard to recognize (80GB) and the ST38421A drive is the crashed drive (7GB)

Regards.

Hi people! I've used this motherboard during 10 years whitout problem. There have been 2 drives plugged during years: 7GB drive and 80 GB drive, booting from the 7GB drive because the 80GB drive has never been recognised by this motherboard. Now, the 7GB drive is crashed so I need the motherboard re...

I tell you the results of some experiments: I changed the 128 RAM module for another 3 modules of 128 MB each one. And I tested it with 2 different video cards: 1.- Nvidia Riva TNT 2 Value, ISA card, 32 MB 2.- S3 Virge DX, PCI card, I don't know the exact model Then: A.- With the #1 video card, the ...

Sorry, when I wrote: 3.- I hear one correct beep, the correct information of the BIOS appears on the screen, I boot from some Linux Live CD, whose logos appears with same areas with changed shades of colours, and in one unspecified point of time, system hangs or reboots itself. I wanted to write: 3....

I have to add that yesterday was the day I booted this PC long ago. I did a lot of boots trying to determine the cause. I had to change the 3V cell because I was getting the message "CMOS checksum failed" or something similar. Now it doesn't show this message. But the behaviour done by the PC descri...
