I have a Gateway MX3563 laptop with windows XP home. Now every time I restart the computer, it goes into BIOS setup screen and constantly beeps non-stop. If I click a key, it will stop beeping.

I just had occasion to experiment with a new Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP (AMD 780G/ AMD SB700) motherboard. To my surprise the board video would not come up with a VGA plugged into the onboard/internal video, and I had to insert an offboard/ external video card (ge7200gs) in order to get into BIOS...

For some reason I am temporarily unable to enter the Biostar website, but I need to know if they have a BIOS update for their M7NCG-400 motherboard so that it will properly recognize a Sempron. A friend's Athlon XP 2000+ died and as I can't get an XP, I tried a Sempron 2400+. It works fine, but at...
