d901c: bios sync sucessefuly?

Hi,

From time to time the d901c of a friend of mine the BIOS takes longer to startup only to finally show the message "bios sync sucessefuly" and reboot again.

What does this mean? He had not changed anything in the system between both boots.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Stay cool,

Trance

 

Hi DFTrance. I've never heard of this before but if he isn't having any problems I would worry about it too much. If this is too much of a concern I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to see if they have any useful info to offer. Hope this helps.

 

DFTrance: do you have any more detail about this event, e.g., any POST beeps, or any error codes being shown onscreen during the boot?

The only thing that I can find that seems to even come a little close to this is a clock-synchronization problem the AMD dual-cores used to have; my pure, total speculation at this point is that your friend has caught his BIOS with its pants down, and caught it doing a periodic re-synch of the system clocks that requires a reboot after synchronization - please keep in mind, this is just my grasping at straws and trying to come up with something coherent that sounds like it's pointed in the right direction; then again, like the drunk in the joke, I may just be looking for my lost "keys" under the lamp-post because that's where the "light" is.

 

Thank you all for the replies

I will advice him to make a BIOS update if he hasn't dont it already, and see what happens. There might be a problem also with the CPU, let's see.
