I went to Intel's site and found that the newest bios version
for my MoBo was P03 and I had P01 so I decided I might as
well update it... So I downloaded the program which starts
an install sheild instance and then it reboots your PC..
They say "Do not power the PC down for 3 minutes or you
could corrupt the transfer and you will have to send the PC
back to your manufacturer"
I am thinking to myself "well duh" who would do such a thing!
So I start the install process and it turns the PC off and
reboots into the Bios screen and it never moves.. So I sit
and I wait.. 3 minutes pass... 5 minutes pass... 10 minutes pass... I enter the bios setup and everything looks
kosher and it's showing PO3 rather than P01 so I figure
what the hell "save and exit" then reboot... When XP loads
an Intel window pops ups "Bios updated successfully" WHEW!
Why don't they tell you the damn thing is gonna stay in the
bios setup screen rather than reboot to Win after completion! Grrrr
