My Bios is award 6.0 and motherboard shuttle ak12 ver 3.0
I am currently using win xp pro and under "advance pc info" I was browsing my error log and recieved the below pasted message:

Hi Kevin. Welcome to the TSF.

I have seen this once before. What I found out is that these errors will occur with XP and an older BIOS. Something to do with the way a bios is programmed. The Shuttle ak12 is a older motherboard and has been discontinued. This last BIOS they have for it is from June 2001 and I doubt they are going to release an update for it. You can ensure you BIOS is the latest version but beyond that the best I can say for now is that if you are noticing no problems with your system then just ignore these errors.
