[aclug-L] Re: Cyrix M2

[Ryan Hunt <ryan@xxxxxxxx>]

Just an idea, seems no one else has mentioned it..
Find the motherboard manufacturer's website. There may be a simple BIOS 
update if this was a common problem.. Like everyone else mentioned Cyrix 
has a terrible track record.

If there isint a bios update its likely hardware failure, 
http://groups.google.com may reveal simular cases to your own to help 
you pinpoint the problem..

If you need anymore assistance email me
