    BIOS Questions
    Do you have a BIOS history file that includes the problem(s) fixed for each revision of the BIOS?

  • Yes, click here for the file.

    How do I flash or upgrade my BIOS?

  • Updated BIOS are available on our BBS, FTP site, or in BIOS page.

    I'm running Windows 95 and plug & play doesn't seem to work.

  • Go into the BIOS's PC/PnP Configuration and enable the PnP OS option.

    How do I clear the CMOS? How do I clear the BIOS password?

  • Power off your system, move JBAT1 (located next to the BIOS chip) to 2-3 and leave it there for 2 or 3 seconds.
  • Move JBAT1 back to 1-2 and power up your system.

    I flashed my BIOS, but now I get no video.

  • Try clearing your CMOS (see above).

    How come the options I see in the BIOS doesn't always match the ones in the manual?

  • Because BIOS are updated constantly, the manual cannot always keep up with the changes.

    Hardware Questions
    I'm only using one Pentium II processor now; do I need something in the second processor slot?

  • Yes, make sure you have the terminator bracket for the second processor slot. If you wish to add a second Pentium II processor, make sure it's the same speed and cache size as the first processor.

    I've turned the system on, but I'm getting no power (i.e., power supply fan does not even spin).

  • If your ATX power supply has an on/off button in the back, make sure it's turned on.
  • Make sure the wire from your power switch is connected properly to the motherboard; see the motherboard manual.
  • Try reseating the ATX power connector to the motherboard.
  • Disconnect all power connectors to your HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, etc. then try to turn the system on.

    I have two USB ports in the back, how do I get them to work?

  • Currently, USB peripherals aren't widely available on the market yet.
  • But you can enable the USB ports by getting the Microsoft USB driver and the Intel USB INF update.
  • Please note these drivers are for Windows 95 OSR2.0 ONLY.

    Can I use just one DIMM?

  • Yes, the system board will work with just one DIMM present.

    What kind of DIMMs should I use?

  • The PREMIO LX2 motherboard only takes unbuffered 3.3V DIMM (SDRAM or EDO).

    How do I get a plug and play card to work in DOS and/or Windows 3.11/WfW?

  • You need to run the ICU (ISA Configuration Utility) that shipped with the card.

    I have a PnP soundcard and PnP modem, but I'm getting conflicts.

  • It's recommended that you let the modem take COM2 (2F8h/IRQ3); see the question below.
  • And set the soundcard at 220h/IRQ5/DMA1, if possible.
  • Also, try adding the card in one at all time; put the soundcard in first, let 95 detect it, then add the modem.

    I have a plug and play modem, how do I setup it for COM2 in Windows 95?

  • Disable serial port 2 in the BIOS and remove the COM2 port, if present, in Windows 95's Device Manager.

    I get no video; how do I troubleshoot it?

  • Try reseating your video cards, memory, and CPU; or try swapping out the components.

    Operating System Specific Questions
    Do you have a troubleshooting guide for Windows 95?

  • Yes, we do; please see PREMIO PC Windows 95 Troubleshooting Guide.

    In Windows 95's Device Manager, how do I rid of the PCI Bridge and PCI USB entries under Other Device?

  • Please see our PREMIO PC Windows 95 Troubleshooting Guide.

    I'm running DOS/Windows 3.11/WfW; how do I use plug and play cards?

  • You need to run the ICU (ISA Configuration Utility) that came with the PnP cards.

    I'm running Windows NT 3.51 and I've applied service pack 4, now I can't see my IDE CD-ROM drive.

  • If your CD-ROM is on the secondary IDE channel, make sure it's set to master, not slave.

    I'm using Novell Netware 3.x/4.x; how do I get Novell to mount IDE CD-ROM drives?

  • You need to get the HAM drivers.
