Re: why ????

ummmm....casecutter is asking for your system specifications: What motherboard, cpu, ram, etc is you computer made with? What operating system are you using (If Windows is it 95, 98, 98se, ME, 2000, XP {service pack 1 or 2?}, Vista ... a version of Linux or a Mac operating system? )? Anything you can tell us about your sytem may give us the reason for the problem.

Re: why ????

my first guess is that your going to need to do a bios update for your motherboard, so we need to work out the model & make of the motherboard
