Can't upgrade to winXP.... Help!!
Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2002 8:07 am
I have tried to upgrade my winME to winXP twice and my PC shows the same problem (the installing process stops after the system automatically restart).First with upgrade from the ME and second with clean install from the winXP CD.
My MB:
ECS K7VZA KT133 rev:1 , chipset Via VT8683
Original Bios Award v.6.00 version 1.1a
I think BIOS caused this messy thing, so i decided to update the bios to the newest version k7vza36a with flasher awd816a.exe from ecsusa.com.
But, Arrrgggh!! my PC won't boot up... it's beeping several times and then shut down by itself.(Everything goes blank, i even can't downgrade to the old bios)
I've tried to clear CMOS but it won't work.
1.I can go to the EEPROM-man , but can i use this MB to run winXP?
2.Why i can't update my bios to this MB ?
