1328759 2013-02-18 23:12:00 That message you quote indicates a change in hardware, was there a change?
If not then it may be something has failed.
Have you tried a different, known good stick of RAM?
Will it boot a Linux live CD?

1328761 2013-02-18 23:28:00 Looks like you disable it in the BIOS using qflash. Disable DMI after selecting qflash Speedy Gonzales (78)
1328762 2013-02-18 23:51:00 disabled q-flash doesn't seem to stay.
after I disable it, I've pressed F10 DMI returned to Enabled
after I disable it, I've pressed ESC DMI returned to Enabled

1328763 2013-02-18 23:55:00 Did you save the settings? Update the BIOS. If you have flash it again then see if it goes away Speedy Gonzales (78)
1328764 2013-02-18 23:59:00 once in q-flash, I didn't see anywhere to save the setting.
I haven't updated the BIOS as I found that there were too many updates & I am uncertain,
Do I use the most current one or??

1328765 2013-02-19 00:13:00 Just flash F7. I wouldnt use F8 since it's beta and it maybe buggy. Once you exit qflash you should have the option to save BIOS settings Speedy Gonzales (78)
1328766 2013-02-19 00:15:00 thank you
will do & will report back
