Hi
thank you for the help and advise
i have tried the latest bios ( F.08 ) but still no good , i have also tried to use a USB flash drive to boot from but then i get a message that i am trying to boot into a 64.bit and not compatable ????
even though the CPU is very capable of running 64.bit windows, it seems that if you can get past the bios and into windows 7 profesional 64.bit the machine works great with 4gb ram installed and 500gb drive and even with the latest driver from intel for the graphics every thing works ??? its just getting past the bios that seems to be the issue
i have looked at various forums and the F.24 bios it would seem resolves the problem ? but again i am not able to get to load it into the bios as it locks me out ?
hope this helps
