Hi
My power unit is an ATX type, so I don't realize
where the problem is, in this case...
Moreover, my motherboard is a very recent type.
However, to Alan Cox, here is my question:
What do you mean with APM bios? My bios is
simply an Award bios, dating from June 1999,
from the boot up indications, and the protected
mode, with the time, has being well known by
the manufacturers.
So, it might be possible my bios is bugged,
Despite of this, I wouldn't be brought to
flash it, for it's a dangerous option.
