Ignantfi3d Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Does anyone know how or where I can find a BIOS update for my pc? Everytime I watch youtube or any video, guaranteed the screen will go blank, pop up a blue screen sayin something about a bios error, shut it self down, and restart itself. Then when it comes back on, it gives me this: Error Message Link Any ideas or help is appreciated. This is what I'm working with: BIOS Type: Phoenix-Award BIOS v6.00PG BIOS ID: 08/22/2002-P4X266E-8235-6A6LW00IC-00 BIOS Date: 20020822 BIOS Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD BIOS Version: 6.00 PG BIOS Size: 262144 Chipset: VIA 82C3128 rev 1 SuperIO: ITE 8705/SiS 950 rev 2 at port 002E OEM Sign-on: U8788R06 Motherboard Name: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Neo_frog Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well this problem sounds like a driver or video card memory issue. I suggest flashing your BIOS first with your vendor's latest. (Should be on their website) Run a diagnostic utility for your video card and test everything. Then make sure your drivers are up to date. Those would be my first steps. Quote Need an install?

Ignantfi3d Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well, I bought the pc of my g/f's brother who had this sitting around for a bit. Much btter than what I was using. I updated the video card to the latest driver when I got it about a month ago. How would I go about running a diag on the video card? and I searched around on google and cant seem to find a bios update for what I have.

psx2p Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) click on start>run>dxdiag then go to display tab. Stop screens are windows level which usually means its a driver. if i were you i would update ALL of my drivers before flashing the BIOS. off brand Motherboards produce weird errors that make a tech scratch and wonder "how the hell" EDIT: just wondering is it only youtube? does this happen when you open video files from any other place? are you using an onboard GPU or a physical card?
