CMOS checksum error indicates a CMOS problem not a BIOS problem, Try clearing CMOS, or replacing the CMOS battery.

I forgetten to write something here.I opened SANDRA 2005 lite and I select mainboard.İt says "IOQD depth is set too low...".I tried everything but didn't find any option for that problem.Mainboards data speed is good but agp performance is too low.And I tried all of them on supportbios.info.
After that I look at wims.rainbow-software.org But I didn't find DVAX2+ bios.

P.S.:DVAX2+ Version 1.3 writes on my mainboard

Was curious myself, so i googled:

Warning W231 - The IOQD (Host Bus In-Order Queue Depth) is set too low, most likely 1, i.e. no queue. This indicates the depth of the host bus pipelining; thus 1 indicates that no pipelining is to be done on the bus. This reduces the performance of the host bus which is crucial to performance. P6 (Pentium Pro, II, III, Celeron) has an IOQD depth of 8 while the P4 has an IOQD of 12. Most chipsets have an IOQD of 4 or more.
Fix: Check that BIOS settings were not reset or set to Fail-Safe defaults. Reset them to Optimised or Normal settings.

so, did you try optimised or normal settings?

I've seen some boards with VIA chipsets where the In-Order Queue Depth was always forced to 1. When I tried to increase it by changing chipset registers, it was really faster but also very unstable...

Start up pc
Check for something like 'Hit DEL to enter setup'
Do this
Check your settings - write them down
Select normal settings or optimized settings(best performance settings), (not failsafe!)
Save settings & exit
Pc will reboot
If it won't boot up to windows, back to old settings
If it does, check with Sandra if your ioqd has improved - if not your out of luck - no known solution

Btw, if optimized settings work, this should be good for overall pc performance (apart from manual tuning)

Good luck

My bios doesn't have optimized settings only have setup default.
And When I was programming my bios which diskette has my bios update files is gave IO eror.After that my computer didn't open after that.and mainboard alarm is ringed very kind. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
What will I do? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Check the FAQs #9 and #27 on the main Wim's BIOS website.
Is your BIOS in a socket?
