on the bios features page of my bios there is only things relating to boot priority and POST
i have tryed changing voltage of ram to 1.9 and 1.95 both resulting is same result as my Original post
would updating my bios be of any use as the board is close to 3years old if so can i make a cd boot instead of a flopy boot disk as i dont have a flopy drive on my PC
