Problems with: VIA VT8363 (KT-133) chipset with Award BIOS v6.00, comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
BIOS ID: 10/05/2000-VT8363-VT686A-6A6LMF09C-00 OEM SIGNON: Version VDA44 SUPER I/O: VIA 686 rev 34 found at port 14h CHIPSET: VIA 82C305 rev 3 OS: Microsoft Windows XP Version: 5.1.2600 there is a post at http://groups.google.com/groups?q=up...me.nl&r num=3 that describes my exact problem, to a t. i, tho, dont have a ibm computer, this computer was assembled by some neighborhood shop. uhm. my computer only freezes when playing games, thats right, about 20min or so in. i dont know if there is a bios upgrade to this, but ive suspected long that this is my bios. i tried all the sites but they sent me to esupports which is a bad idea and im surprised that award thinks they can get people to pay for a flash update, its no good. id appreciate any help with the situation. yes, ive messed with my bios and still nothing, maybe ive not messed with it in the right way. any help would be appreciated. my friend, who got the same computer as me had the same exact problem and then he changed his motherboard and it no longer freezes ever, i was wondering if there are any other solutions?so no, this isnt a one in a lifetime occurence. uhm, ive checked to see if its the ram, it isnt, its not the gfx card either, nor the network card nor anything that i can exchange easily with another computer. thank you. |
