How the hell do I get into the bios on this board? It refuses to let me, I am using a usb keyboard, don't that if that will mean anything, the manual says the delete key, but it absolutely refuses to let me into the bios. I even tried ALL of the f-keys.

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
Hmmm. Remember something about this with some mobos. Have to use PS2 connection. Won't see USB or serial devices until system loads.veritas odium parit -

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
Well, I took your guy's advice, and it worked. Now the damn cd that had xp pro 64bit is bad, and I don't have any blanks laying around.Comment

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
Other than scratched, broken, melted, how does a CD go "bad"? Try another player perhaps?veritas odium paritComment

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
I've had TONS of burned CD's on imation and memorex media just go bad for no apparent reason, nothing would read them....Originally posted by Toasty
I am very meticulous with my CD's, they weren't scratched. My XP pro corp slipstream did the same thing to me about 6 months ago, had to burn another copy. This is why I always keep the ISO's backed up on multiple hard drives.

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
Admittedly I've HEARD of people having those problems, but I've never experienced it after 15 years of burning them. I've bought some real junk CD's also. The 100 stack for $20 kind of deal.
I have them not burn correctly, but that is usually my fault for allowing them to burn at the "rated" max speed of the drive. I learned to back it down long ago to no faster than 2/3rd's rated, and never have had a problem since.
Curious indeed...

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
I learned to use only premium brands: Verbatim, Maxell, TDK in descending order of preference.
Several of my 12" LaserDisc have rotted out. A real shame, as those titles are out of production. This was a real problem with LD, but I suspect internal meltdown is probably a factor for CD and DVD media also.
I tell all my clients that CD/DVD are *not* archival media, and to make multiple copies.Comment

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
The cd is a "cool burn" (no, you don't use it if you get burnt)
I wound up putting 2 gigs of ddr-266 ecc registered in it. 4x512mb modules, ATP brand, but the memory chips themselves are samsung.Comment

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
Do you plan on adding more? With only 2gb, you don't have to run x64. XP pro will see all of that. My precision 470 has 12gb, now that needs X64Originally posted by 370forlife

Re: Supermico X6DAL-G bios problems
Might as well put 64 on it now to support extra ram in the future. Most of the time it will be hosting a cod4 server and running cod4 at the same time (has a 8600gt in it)
Im still not even completely sure if these processors are 64 bit support, I believe they are sl7dx's.Comment

I don't have a clue what that means and why or how it would affect the CD and the loss of info?

Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
🧩 Initial Issue- Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight

Hello everyone,
I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details- Barebone / Chassis: TongFang GK7MRFR

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.
When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.
I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder... -
