Intel 875PBZ BIOS freeze
When plugging in a fan to the Rear Chassis Fan connector, and trying to
access the "Hardware Monitoring" section in the BIOS, it results in a freeze. If I switch off the PC, unplug the fan, then go back into the BIOS and go back to Hardware Monitoring, it works and shows me fan speeds, etc. I'm on BIOS P08 and the fan spins just fine. Because the BIOS freezes, I'm wondering if the board's cooling system is working correctly. The system I refer to, is the one where the board monitors the temperature and adjusts the voltage to the fan according. Any help would be appreciated. ~ Adrian ~ |

On many Intel mobos you have to move a jumper in order to enter the BIOS. |

On many Intel mobos you have to move a jumper in order to enter the
BIOS. Oh, I can enter the BIOS just fine. It's when I enter the Hardware Monitoring section (under the Advanced section) that it freezes, as long as the fan is plugged in. Thanks. ~ Adrian ~ |

I've already tried BIOS P08, which was release June 27th. Same thing
happens. Do you get this same problem as well? I don't know anyone else with a 875PBZ motherboard. I agree, the entire thiing runs fine except for this problem. I've no problem performing BIOS flashes, performed many in the past, all successful. I'd appreciate hearing if you have this problem too, or not. ~ Adrian ~ |

OK, many thanks for letting me know. I spammed Intel about this and they
suggested I try an older BIOS! Rather a lame fix to the problem. ~ Adrian ~ |
