your current BIOS image. Flash the boot block and enter the name of the update
BIOS image file. NOTE: It is important to save your current BIOS and rename
it "super.rom" in case you need to recover from a failed BIOS update. Select
flash boot block, then enter the update BIOS image. Select "Y" to start the BIOS
flash procedure and do not disturb your system until the flash utility displays that
the procedure is complete. After updating your BIOS, please clear the CMOS
then load Optimal Values in the BIOS.
Question: After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video. How
can I correct this?
Answer: If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS, it
indicates the flashing procedure failed. To remedy this, first clear the CMOS per
instructions in this manual and retry BIOS flashing procedure. If you still do not
have video, please use the following BIOS recovery procedure. Turn your system
off and place the floppy disk with the saved BIOS image file (see above FAQ) in
drive A. Press and hold "CTRL" and "Home" at the same time, then turn on power
with these keys pressed until your floppy drive starts reading. Your screen will
remain blank until the BIOS program is done. If system reboots correctly, then
recovery is done.
Question: I have memory problems. What is the correct memory to use
and which BIOS setting should I choose?
Answer: The correct memory to use on the SUPER P6DBS/P6DBE/P6DBU/
P6SBU/P6SBS/P6SBA is 168-pin DIMM 3.3v non-buffered SPD (Serial Present
Detection) SDRAM, SDRAM and EDO memory. SPD SDRAM is preferred but is
not necessary. IMPORTANT: Please do not mix memory types; the results are
unpredictable. If your memory count is exactly half of the correct value, please
go to the BIOS in Chipset Setup and set "SDRAM AUTOSIZING SUPPORT" to
Enabled . Change between available options until one setting correctly displays
your memory.
Question: Which Operating System (OS) supports AGP?
Answer: At present Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 are the only OS that will
have built-in support for AGP. Some AGP video adapters can run Windows 95
OSR2.1 with special drivers. Please contact your graphics adapter vendor for
more details.
Question: Do I need the CD that came with your motherboard?
