ABIT "WW" BIOS "kills" mainboard / Ken 3:49pm GMT
Well the new BIOS is here but quite a number of users actually experience problems booting up their system after installing the new BIOS. The obvious reason is found below :
Adds CPU protecting function. !WARNING! If the CPU fan reading of fan header #1 lower than 2000 rpm, or the fan is connected on header #2/#3/#4 or directly to power supply unit, this BIOS will automatically SHUTDOWN THE POWER IN 10 SECONDS. This design protect the processor from damage by heat.
Some users suggested flashing the older WT BIOS while some users attached the CPU Fan to fan header #1 to solve the problem (as it was detected as < 2000 rpm since no fan is attached).
