Answer: If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS,
it indicates that the flashing procedure failed. To remedy this, first clear
CMOS per the instructions in this manual and retry the BIOS flashing proce-
dure. If you still do not have video, please use the following BIOS Recov-
ery Procedure. First, make sure the JPWAKE jumper is disabled. Then,
turn your system off and place the floppy disk with the saved BIOS image
file (see above FAQ) in drive A. Press and hold <Alt> and <F2> at the same
time, then turn on the power with these keys pressed until your floppy drive
starts reading. Your screen will remain blank until the BIOS program is
done. If the system reboots correctly, then the recovery was successful.
The BIOS Recovery Procedure will not update the boot block in your
BIOS.
Question: Do I need the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs
that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the
CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include VIA
Pro 266 chipset drivers for Windows plus security and audio drivers.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?
Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the "Power
B u t t o n M o d e " s e t t i n g . W h e n t h e " O n / O f f " f e a t u r e i s e n a b l e d , t h e
motherboard will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has con-
trol of the system. When the "Standby" or "Suspend" feature is enabled or
when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first
screen that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary On/Off
switch must be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system.
This feature is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.
