First post been watching off and on for a bit nice to see poeple who still appreciate these wonderful machines.
Anyway Im trying to figure out if this mobo is toast or not.
Every time I boot up i get this error message:
EISA configuration FAILED
Slot 00 Error: Invalid EISA Configuration
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
System proceeds to boot to c prompt normally.
Besides the video card the only other card installed is the I/O controller. Ive made sure it is seated properly and even tried a different slot, still same error.
I managed to find the Asus ECU and ran the utility. I was actually getting somewhere but then I get this error once I try to save to NVM.
Caution - System board ID mismatch. The hardware board ID does not match the ID stored in nonvolatile memory. The hardware ID will be used.
I hit continue then this comes next:
Caution - A failure was detected while clearing your computer's nonvolatile memory (EISA CMOS). The configuration will not be saved to nonvolatile memory.
I hit continue yet again then this comes up:
Caution - Due to an error condition, the configuration was not saved.
The ECU did verify and create the CFG file for me but for some reason it cannot write to CMOS. Its a great MOBO and besides the error message that appears the machine runs great. Im highly picky and I want the error gone. Any ideas?
Thanks
