yes it happened because u changed ur bios data and if i am correct its specifically due to inconsistent data about either ur cpu or ur ram...

u can first of all check all parameters to see if they are right and there are some mobos in which u can set the dmi pool timeout...

but check ur parameters again coz the moment u correct them the timeout will stop appearing...

 

[cyrixMII300]

it only happens when one of ur setting is out of order at least as far as i have personally experienced...

ocers when they get this... i guess they just generally realize something is wrong and go about fixing it..

just my experiences...

unfortunately i think in that case ur system is not set properly or ur bios option for dmi check is enabled...u might want to check ur bios manual and ur bios setting before refuting what ppl say....also his problem was it was running for 15 seconds which is usually too long for a dmi check

so plz check ur bios setup and ur bios document b4 u comment further..

as for the performance setting if u want to oc ur system i wouldnt suggest you do that but if u r content on just running ur system without touching anything else then go ahead with the performance setting default..

if ur mobo mfg releases a new release bios its always better to update the bios especially if 1. u havent updated for some time and 2. every1 says that is a more stable and reliable bios update...

 

[cyrixMII300]

thats no prob mate

usually most ppl wont even notice its passing....

edit: what are u actually adjusting on ur ram? and by how much? ur ram seems to me to pretty good stuff for oc so something is not right here..

 

[cyrixMII300]

yup i agree with enterprise coz i am sure the driver was written by biostar to take advantage of the athlon capability in windows environment....

 

[cyrixMII300]

yes as the man says swap ur ram to different slots...and another thing run memtest on it...might indicate if u have a ram problem...but remember that patriot has a lot of tweaking to do b4 its actually stable but when it happens it is a sweet girl...

also to beserk...it happens to the best of us and u r trying in any case...

 

[cyrixMII300]

i m sorry mate..checking to bed now will try to be more specific tomorrow...but check ur mobo and see if the slots are numbered 1 & 3 as in the slots where the rams are plugged in right now...otherwise u might have to reseat them accordingly..usually dual channel rams must be physically plugged in into either slot 1 & 3 or slots 2 & 4....check the physical numbering on mobo or check ur manual to see the number

 

[cyrixMII300]

ttry swapping both rams to the green slots and check if there is a difference...

but i think there wont be coz i feel it is some other hardware prob... but try it anyway

 

[cyrixMII300]

did u install any new hardware? also maybe u want to unplug everything n plug them in back again....everything the ram, drives, display card ....everything.....or have i suggested that b4?

 

[cyrixMII300]

clown....

i am sorry couldnt help myself....plug in the fdd again....that WILL DEFINITELY solve the problem... i bet my a** on it...

either that or go into ur bios and disable the fdd search option...

also u should have something which says halt on error.. select halt on none

 

[cyrixMII300]

u r welcome....

i m really very happy 4 u
