* I BUILT MY NEW PC WITH CUSL2 motherboard, PIII 800EB
processor, CORSAIR PC133 128MB CAS-2 memory & IBM's
75GXP Deskstar Hard Drive.
* On booting the screen showed "HARDWARE MONITOR FOUND
ERROR - ENTER POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP FOR DETAILS
Press F1 to continue.
* POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP HIGHLIGHTED IN RED VARIATION
IN TWO OF THE LEADS AS UNDER -
instead of -12V showed -8.43
instead of +12V showed -10.23
* I CHECKED THE POWER SUPPLY BY CONNECTING THE MOBO TO TWO DIFFERENT NEW
SMPS (power supply). Same variation was recorded in all power supplies.
I emailed ASUSTeK for advise. They advised me to Flash the BIOS to the
latest version 1003.a
I have successfully Flashed the BIOS of my CUSL2 mobo to the latest version. BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. VOLTAGE VARIATION ON TWO
OF THE LEADS REMAINS SAME AND EACH TIME I BOOT it gives me the warning
and says Press F1 to continue.
Now I seek your advise on the following -
1. The Distributor of ASUS here is refusing
to replace it, but they said they will
repair it.I cannot imagine if they are equipped or
competent to repair a sensitive hardware like
motherboard.
Q1. Do the dealers internationally replace the motherboard.
I believe under warranty ASUS have a moral obligation to
replace a defective motherboard.
Q2. If I change the Setup to "IGNORE" to avoid pressing F1
every time, COULD THE VOLTAGE VARIATION DAMAGE/KILL OTHER
COMPONENTS eg memory, hard disk drive or any other card?
Please post your most considered views.
