EP35-DS3 BIOS, where is it ?

[Ecx]

I want to use virtual technology but before i can do that i need to enable it in BIOS (virtualization technology enable), but there ain't such option in BIOS!!
I have updated my BIOS and now i have the latest BIOS for my motherboard(07/29/2008) - 1984-2008 Award BIOS.
In the manual found on their official site i read that the option virtual technology should be in BIOS.

Where is the virtualization option in my BIOS, why is it missing ?

If its not in the Advanced secton of your BIOS idk. Try Crrl+F1 and maybe it will be visible.

Please add all your Specifications to your Tweak Town Signature.

1. Click where it says "User CP" at the top of any page on this forum when your logged in. Or maybe this might work: TweakTown Forums .

2. Click, " Edit Signature " on the left of your Control Panel.

3. Update the following with your own info and copy/paste it all into your new signature:

<<< System Summary >>>
> Power Supply: ________________________
> Mainboard : ________________________
> Chipset : ________________________
> Processor : ________________________
> CPU HeatSink and Fan (HSF): ________________________
> Physical Memory : ________________________(Put a Link to your RAM's specifications here next to it.)
> Video Card : ________________________
> DVD-Rom Drive : ________________________
> Monitor Type : ________________________
> Operating System : ________________________

4. Preview and save it.

And then we'll be able to see all your Specifications on every post you make.

And include your mobo rev#, bios version in your signature too.

Thanks

EDIT:

Your manual mentions that Virtual Technology is Enabled by default! So if you can't remember disabling it, it must be enabled still if, you Loaded Optimal Defaults.

Re: EP35-DS3 BIOS, where is it ?

I edited my computer specifications.

Yes, the manual i posted mentioned it.

How can virtualization technology be enabled if i can't see it ? (it surely ain't hidden or ?)
...the virtualization doesn't works...it doesn't works because of the problem i described.
...if everything would be alright like you said i wouldn't even have to go to BIOS..not even post here.

K, well for now just wait for Lsdmeasap or ProfJim. They will know right away and are hardly ever away this long.

But for now, do you recall ever loading Optimal defaults?

Re: EP35-DS3 BIOS, where is it ?

I did that 2 times yesterday because i updated 2x my BIOS...and it is needed to load optimal defaults.

OK I got it. Well just be patient and keep an eye out for Lsdmeasap and ProfJim. I'm not familiar enough with the subject of problem solving a missing Virtual Technology option in BIOS.

And you did try the "Ctrl+F1" while in BIOS at its main menu, to see if that key combination maid the "virtual technology" option magically show up in the Advanced section?

Re: EP35-DS3 BIOS, where is it ?

Yes i tried Ctrl+F1, nothing new.

Here is what i got under advanced in BIOS:

Hard Disk Boot Priority [Press Enter]
First Boot Device [CDROM]
Second Boot Device [Hard Disk]
Third Boot Device
Password Check [Setup]
HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability [Disabled]
Limit CPUID Max. to 3 (Note) [Disabled]
No-Execute Memory Protect (Note) [Enabled]
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) (Note) [Enabled]
CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2) (Note) [Enabled]
CPU EIST Function (Note) [Enabled]
Full Screen LOGO Show [Enabled]
Init Display First [PCI]

You found it?

Re: EP35-DS3 BIOS, where is it ?

My guess is upon updating the BIOS something occured here are possibilities...
A. the option was there in earlier versions of BIOS, then later versions of BIOS hide this feature but left it enabled.
B. the option was in a later version of the BIOS but He could not find it.
C. Somehow the flash was not complete or corrupted? not betting on this as the answer.
D. His board does not support Virtualization Technology.
