ULTRA100 BIOS NOT INSTALLED

[dhar25]

My PC no longer boots up. It gives this mesage " Ultra100 BIOS not installed, there is no drivers attached. I understand this is a usuall problem with ASUS A7PRO MotherBoards. Mine is 200 MHz FSB AGP Pro/4x, Jumper free/VC133, VIA Apollo KT133 Chipset

My primary hard-drive is Maxtor 60GB.

I wonder if any one knows how to resolve this problem. I tried another working drive and also different sockets and I gives the same message. I think that the hard drive is not damaged but I can't go pass this message "ULTRA100 BIOS is not installed.

What did you do prior to this message?

My suspicion is your CMOS setting somehow got mangled. There should be a jumper on the motherboard that will reset the CMOS. Turn the computer off, set the jumper (for ten seconds or so) then take the jumper off. Reboot the computer.

Thank you Accessdabbler, your response maks sense. I have to check the manuel to locate the jumber and also check the onboard battery that keeps the dynamic memory alive.
