No, the temperature/voltage readouts are still not visible in the bios. I tried a number of different bios' with no luck. It is sort of puzzling. Motherboard Monitor still reports the termperatures and voltages though I am not sure how accurately it is doing this. I put this system together for my g...

I had the same problem with a second bp6 board I picked up used. Check the system health forum.

My solution was to replace all of the 1500uF and 1000uF capacitors. Worked like a charm off of the first boot =)

Fixed!!

I finally got the thing fixed!

Replaced all of the capacitors (well 24 of them - 12 1500uF and 12 1000uF). I let the EC10 capacitor be since it's a rev 1.1 board and that's what I have on my 'stable' board and it's a 1.1. Thinking about replacing all of the capacitors on my old board too.

i tried all of the suggested options above. i did get the system to boot into windows (XP) using the hard drive from my main bp6 system. Unfortunately windows only ran in single processor mode (i checked this using the task manager). however, the good news is that motherboard monitor did report some...

Try this method when you flash: After the flash update is completed, power off your computer (I turn the power off on the power supply and unplug the power cord), then discharge the CMOS with the mainboard jumper CCMOS , Power the computer back on. Not sure if I did this exactly. I'll try again. Lo...

No Temp Readouts in BIOS

I picked up a BP6 from ebay. Anyway, I have it in a new case and I've installed 128 MB memory, creative banshee video card, 2x366 celerons, keyboard and floppy so i could do some basic configuration before installing the rest of the components. Anyway, sometimes 2 processors are available, sometimes...
