Appendix Appendix BPI Overview EVOC BPI (BIOS Programming Interface) is a cross-platform, easy-to-maintain software interface specification, which supports access to hardware under the Protected Mode of the operating system. The function of the product is to provide a unified standard interface for the application software or driver; therefore, when the hardware of the motherboard is upgraded, there is no need to modify the application software or driver and the former software can operate on the new platform normally.
Analysis: it could result from improper operation when no display after inserting or removing the memory and cause abnormal replacing with a operation of the components on the motherboard. Focus memory on the circuit related to the memory on the motherboard. - 48 - EC0-1815V2NAR...
