hi,
I have XP Pro installed on a AMD Duron 800mhz processor. I am going to
upgrade later in the year to an intel 3.0ghz with new motherboard etc. At the
moment i am having problems with the ACPI according to the error log and need
to update my BIOS. i cant seem to find an update anywhere and don't
understand.

Any help would be gratefull
Thanks
 
The best advice is to not muck about with changing the BIOS. You may have a
computer that works better, you may not notice any change or worse still
your computer may not work at all. If you're going to change your computer
anyway why not just bring that forward? If you can't do that can you and
your computer limp along until it can be replaced?

Regards.

Hello Confused
Can you confirm - are you changing your computer for a new one or are you
thinking of an upgrade later in the year.
What are the error log details.
What make of computer do you have - how old.
Further problems could be with your current OS when you change Mobo and CPU.

I have to agree with Bill. If the PC is working and you intend to get a new
one later in the year, leave the BIOS alone. BIOS upgrades can be dangerous
and the BIOS chip is easily trashed if yuo don't know what you are doing.
Yes, it is a simple thing to flash the BIOS, but not for the faint hearted
and, even then, it may not cure the problem.
