Serious BIOS problem...

Serious BIOS problem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello. I have recently been having problems with the sound on my computer. I have been to other forums that have told me to download the updated drivers, which I did before I went to the forums to begin with. I did as they requested again, and still no luck. I went through a link that one guy gave to to Dell.com and downloaded one that I thought would finally fix my sound issues. That one failed also, so I decided to download all the drivers on that page that were available to me. I started with an update for my BIOS,.. (which I was pretty sure didn't have anything to do with the problem) and after I extracted the files and restarted my computer, I got this message almost instantly: System haulted! Alert! Incompatible processor detected! This didnt seem like a big deal at first, I just thought i could go into BIOS from there and restore the default one... turns out that my keyboard is USB, and my computer has no older ports (sorry I don't know the name of em') and my computer is not acknowledging my keyboard or mouse, and since the USB directories are on my BIOS and I cant get into BIOS.. it seems that I'm screwed.. Can anyone help me out at all with this problem? :/

Thank you.

 

Sounds like you might have had a failed BIOS flash. What is the make and model of your motherboard?

My first suggestion is to check with the manufacturer's web-site and see if there are any troubleshooting procedures or FAQs listed that match the problem you are having. If a corrupt BIOS seems like the culprit, see if there are any recovery directions for a bad flash. The fact you are getting anything at all on boot is a hopeful sign.

The older ports you refer to are called PS/2 - they are round, and the one for a keyboard is normally purple (PS/2 mouse ports are normally green). You said your board doesn't have either of these?

 

Thanks for the reply. I have tried resetting the my mobo by removing the battery for a minute and then putting it back, and I tried to reset it by moving the jumper around but those didn't work either. Is there a certain order you have to go in when trying to reset it? I'm almost about to give up on this pc. If it weren't for those damn USB ports ><!
Any info that could be given would help a lot

Thanks
