If you own an AMI bios, set auto-detection (of newly installed devices and
|
||
memory configuration changes) to OFF. My machine was set to ON when I bought
|
||
it, and that turned out a Norton SI score of 99.8, now, when set to on, it
|
||
pumps out 107.9.
|
||
|
||
Sometimes it is not called "auto-detection". But it's always something similar,
|
||
so you can really figure it out...
|
||
|
||
The only case you want to set it on, is when you have installed more ram, etc..
|
||
Then reboot, and set it to OFF again.
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Other useful parameters so set are, ALL cache [this and that] to on.
|
||
Memory tick sound=off.
|
||
Test memory over 1 mb=off.
|
||
|
||
hmmmmmmm........ I will think of more as I proceed......

If you by mistake set the password-checking in the bios to ON, the password
|
||
is AMI by default. If you however have changed the password before turning
|
||
password-checking to on, there are still two things you might do.
|
||
|
||
1) Search the motherboard for a jumper that states "bios password check",
|
||
or something similar. Change it, turn on the machine, remove the
|
||
password, save and leave the bios, turn off the machine, and put
|
||
the jumper back in place.
|
||
|
||
2) Remove the CMOS battery. It is usually (?) blue, and the size of
|
||
2*3*1.5cm's. Remove it, and put it back in. ALL your bios settings
|
||
should now be gone. You DID take a backup of it, didn't you??!?
|
||
|
||
If it is melted down into a socket. There IS a way to remove it,
|
||
but nah.... That should be left to professionals.

If you cannot change the parameters supplied with your BIOS, there IS a way to
|
||
change it! There are some special operations you can easily do with machine-
|
||
code to change your parameters, but the upmost excellent way of doing this
|
||
is to use a program that usually is supplied with your computer. If it is not,
|
||
you might freely download a program that do the same task (or you may HOPE
|
||
that that's what it does. There is no safety regarding this. Bios'es is
|
||
different...) An even better solution is to buy a version of Checkit PRO
|
||
that I think contains code that let's you change your CMOS parameters...
|
||
(Great, a 100$+ product to change your CMOS settings!), Ofcourse, you might
|
||
find additional uses for that product, or you might find different products
|
||
that performs similar actions.

If your motherboard supports changes of clock-speeds, you might try out a new
|
||
setting. Usually the jumper is marked by a VL-BUS clock speed jumper, or by
|
||
a CLOCK-SPEED jumper (or motherboard clo...., and so on...). Set it higher
|
||
and higher, if possible. If your system boots nice with this change, AND your
|
||
computers built in clock works fine, you might find out that you want to live
|
||
with the new configuration. If you do so, INSTALL A FAN! I have experienced
|
||
a 50 mhz dx2 burn up when left on for a whole day! If the processor feels
|
||
hot, install a heat sink in addition! Coolness extends your computers life, and
|
||
might avoid some unfortunate errors, like sudden system crashes, bios failure,
|
||
etc.... Intel and all other chip manufacturers STRONGLY DISCOURAGES you to
|
||
set the clock speed higher than rated. But several systems work fine. For
|
||
example, a 486 sx 25, where set to 50Mhz, and now it BLAZES away! Several
|
||
people have tried this with luck, so you might want to consult them before
|
||
taking any actions. A good place to meet such people, is at a BBS, a NET
|
||
like internet, or perhaps the excellent Compuserve Information Service (CIS),
|
||
America ONLINE, or some other place.
