Question: After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video.

How can I correct this?

Answer: If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS,

it indicates that the flashing procedure failed. To fix this, first clear CMOS

per the instructions in this manual and retry the BIOS flashing procedure. If

you still do not have video, please use the following BIOS Recovery Pro-

cedure. First, make sure the JPWAKE jumper is disabled. Then, turn your

system off and place the floppy disk with the saved BIOS image file (see

above FAQ) in drive A. Press and hold <Alt> and <F2> at the same time,

then turn on the power keeping these keys pressed until your floppy drive

starts reading. Your screen will remain blank until the BIOS program is

done. If the system reboots correctly, then the recovery was successful.

The BIOS Recovery Procedure will not update the boot block in your BIOS.

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?

Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs

that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the

CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include

chipset drivers for Windows and security and audio drivers.

Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary

power on/off switch?

Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power

Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard

will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the

system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the

BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen that

appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must

be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature

is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.

Question: How do I utilize the six-channel sound?

Answer: Six-channel sound is only available on the P4SGA/P4SGL. Enable

it through the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard

package. When activated, sound will be routed through the jacks under the

Game Port as follows: Line Out = front L&R speakers, Line In = rear L&R

speakers, MIC = center and subwoofer speakers. You must also enable

the "AC97 Audio" setting in the Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS

setup.
