Hi guys,

I got a Chaintech 5TDM2 motherboard which just refuses to boot of anything. Its perfectly stable in the BIOS, but as soon as I try to continue the post it seems to hang at “Verifying DMI Pool Data”. I tried about everything, different CPU, GPU, RAM, disabling everything in the BIOS what I can, with CMOS battery and without. Nothing. Last thing I want to try is a different BIOS but I just can't find anywhere online.

So, does anybody here have a copy of the BIOS for this motherboard?

Best regards,
Eleanor1967

I generally just skip over softpedia results because I don't trust this site, but I guess if nobody else here has it I will give it a go in a few days.

Try different hard disk or fix MBR with fdisk using startup floppy or cd rom.
Also You can put jumper to short pin 1 and 2 of JP5 on motherboard just above the CPU socket, it might help.
