Bios Flash Upgrade To P3SCA Dummy



Hi guyz : Just upgraded the bios by flash on a SuperMicro P3SCA motherboard.
Strangest thing when using Nero Info Tool i get wrong readings :-
Bus Speed 66mhz Should be 133mhz for coppermine eb 600
Motherboard I get Dummy Dummy value
System I get Dummy Dummy Value
Bios I get Dummy SCD - Build 01
Memory is correct at 256

and using Sisoft Sandra Mainboard Information under entire system i have Dummy Value for all but one items

(~~;(Bios would not have gone with your board. Sometimes it happens.)

Once I upgrade acer bios, but it make PC boot only in safe mode, this means that most of the high devices are not supported, actually scsi card bios also have been disabled. As I have also the problem with the former bios with CPU, I couldn't but apply other compatible bios. And it worked splendidly except that there appeared other company's logo displaying.

Although I don't know if you really need to upgrade it or not. You'd better get it back again.

Bios version must be cosidered well.

What was the problem with the former bios and which is this?

If it is the Ami line bios, you can adjust it by this:
