You mentioned the Award FR510 BIOS. Have you updated your BIOS also? I
have asked about this several times here. I got an updated BIOS chip
from unicore.com a while back that was supposed to be an updated one.
Actually I got 3 of them. None would get past the part of detecting my
primary IDE. Then I got a message from pbsupport.alorica.com saying
thee is no BIOS update. any info on this BIOS chip would be
appreciated. Thank you.
