Hola,
I'm looking for some help on this. I've searched and found nothing so far on it. This problem has been around for awhile. I built my computer Christmas before last and it has worked great till recently. I love to build computers and have tinkered with electronics since 1973, when I got a Certificate for Radio TV Servicing.
My computer consists of a CUSL2 MB, P3 800EB, 133 FSB, 512meg of PC133 Micron, VisionTek GeForce3 Ti 200, Sound Blaster SB16 PCI sound card and a Linksys NIC card. I was using a SB Live! card, but it seemed to have some problems with drivers and a game I like to play, so I got the SB16.
When I first noticed the problem, I found that a stick of memory had gone bad. I replaced that and ended up reinstalling Win98 several times. I kept having trouble and found that my CD-Rom was acting up and giving me bad installs. Replaced that. After updating to new drivers, DirectX 8.1a, everything worked fine. Now I am crashing with my game program to desktop. Which is what started all this.
The only thing I can find now that is cropping up is this message at boot up.
<Bios:> bios update data incorrect; CPUID 00000686, PCI Device Listing
From the manual, it tells me that this is a bios update loader for the cpu. What do I need to do to correct this or is this a flaw in the board? Asus has nothing on this and I've sent off an email to them requesting help on it. Anyone have any ideas on this? I would appreciate any help I can get because I'm at a loss right now. I'm going to dig out some books and see what I can find out about it. I'm assuming this is loading bios info into the cpu to speed up operations. Thanks for any help.
