SOYO SY-P4VGA User Manual page 88

My system intermittently locks up, during Windows installation.
1. Go to BIOS and load "load optimized defaults".
2. Check website for any BIOS update.
3. If it still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except
CPU/ Memory/ Video card/ Hard disk. See if you can finish
Windows installation. Then put peripherals in one by one to
identify which one causes the lockup.
BIOS Issue
Where can I find the BIOS revision of my mainboard?
It will be displayed on the up-left corner on the screen during boot-up. It
will show as your board type followed by the revision number, such as
kvxa_2BA1 (meaning BIOS revision 2BA1 for the SY-K7V Dragon plus!
board) or 6BA+ IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+ IV motherboard with
2AA2 BIOS.
