Hello All
Some more advice if poss please.
I am thinking about re-flashing the Bios on my MotherBoard.
It is PCCHIPS M810L Rev 7.1a
I have had a look at the WebSite, and found the download page I think at :
http://www.pcchips.com.tw/bios/bios.asp?module_id=4
Now I am not sure what I should be downloading.
Should I only use the file with the specific Model/Rev i.e. M810L Rev 7.1a that I have [I think this is what I should do], or are the higher numbers e.g. V 7.1c, newer versions that would be compatible with my board.
I am doing this because my Chip Speed seems to vary from BootUp to BootUp.
It should be an AMD 2400, but sometimes it boots up and tells me it is a 1800+, and benchmarking confirms that the operating speed does vary between the two.
At the moment the solution I use is to go into the BIOS SetUp and access the CPU PnP section which shows the correct speed regardless of the reported one at BootUp, and the without making any changes to Exit and Save and re-boot.
This always brings up the correct speed, but on the way back to the main manu of the BIOS Set up, the F10 to 'Save & Exit' does not work, and I have to Cursor down to Exit and enter Return and confirm I want to save changes in order to get back to re-boot.
I hope this makes sense, but if not, please let me know and I will try to explain further.
Kind regards
