Hello everyone, I have a severe- and a minor issue.
The Computer I own is a VOBIS Highscreen, model: 237042 TM DX2-80 VL.
The Motherboard is a FIC 486-GIO-VT2.
The CPU is a AMD 486DX2-80
I have 4x4mb of EDO Ram installed.
The GPU is a Trident TGUI9420DGi .
It says "ROM ISA BIOS (214L2000) CMOS SETUP UTILITY AWARD SOFTWARE, INC.", so I guess, this Board has the AWARD Bios.
The severe issue: I was forced to reset the CMOS, because something had caused my PC to stop posting.
After I resetted the CMOS, I tried to enter the BIOS, because I wanted to set the time, the boot priority and everything else.
However, I couldn't proceed, because a box prevents me from accessesing the BIOS, by asking me, to enter a password, which I've never created.
I then tried to reset the CMOS, by using the Jumper, unfortunately it didn't work.
Is there something like a master password, or a tool, I can use to reset the password? What else can I try?
The minor issue: There is a error, which luckly isn't preventing me from booting, but it's still pretty anoying and I don't know how to get rid of it.
It says: RAM PARITY-ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT...
OFFENDING SEGMENT: 0000
PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI, F2 TO REBOOT
When I press F1, the Computer proceeds to boot normally, however if I restart the Computer, the error reappears.
Hopefully these imformations are somehow useful:
I have 16mb (4x4mb) of FastPage, Non-Parity, 5v, 70ns EDO ram.
I have a pair of matching modules and two modules, that are different.
The first module is a Texas Instruments TM124BBK32S-70.
The second module is a liteon 20v0.
The third and the fourth modules are Panasonic P1004b744102.
I tested every module and they all appear to work fine.
If you need pictures, please let me know.
Do you guys, got any clue, what causes this (these) issue(s)?
Thank you in advance, for your help.
Every advice is highly appreciated.
