| 568598 | 2007-07-13 01:02:00 | it was their website that said I needed to, to get rid of the CPU Ucode error the bios needed to be updated so it supported the E6750 CPU. | Pacifier (2821) | ||
| 568599 | 2007-07-13 01:10:00 | Have you checked all the cables are properly connected, especially the CPU fan? | bk T (215) | ||
| 568600 | 2007-07-13 01:13:00 | Never use the Windows program, to update the BIOS. It'll usually freeze / kill a BIOS. If the mobo supports Crashfree BIOS, put the mobo cd in and boot. It SHOULD reflash back to the original BIOS. Then if u want to update it do it in DOS / make a bootable USB flash disk or floppy. Just make sure you've got the latest BIOS for the right mobo. And if this doesnt work check that something isnt overheating, why its turning off after 5 secs. That patch that MS brought out the other day, maybe what fixes your prob. |

The DVD drive won't read the disk, the PC does essentially nothing, the fans, the CPU fan and the DVD start for a few seconds, thats it . it was running fine all morning, has the OS installed fine . Till I decided to update the bios to clear the CPU error on start up . And the board does support this CPU you just need to flash the bios to clear the Start up error . |
