  • Page 21: Bios Setup

    BIOS Setup The motherboard uses Whizpro BIOS, stored in a flash EEPROM. All of the configuration information is stored in the CMOS. 4.1 BIOS Setup The Whizpro BIOS is immediately activated when you first turn on the computer. The BIOS reads system configuration information in CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking the system and configuring it through the Power-On-Self-Test (POST).

    Troubleshooting 5.1 General Troubleshooting Tips Is your system properly assembled and configured? Make sure the BIOS setup is set to default/optimal settings. Pressing <F2> or <DEL> key to enter the setup, select Default or Optimal settings, then save and exit the setup. For Windows 2000, that requires ACPI support, make sure your BIOS is of the latest revision (Some EOL boards will not support it at all).
  • Page 38 Troubleshooting If you have extra peripherals or components, please do some swapping at a bare setup to narrow down the fault. If the fault is the motherboard and you are certain of it and with all exhaustive attempts to get it to work even at bare minimum and with slowest speed setup, then it may require a repair or a replacement.
