While going through looking at things I never knew existed, I found this: Warning Accuracy of DMI data cannot be
guaranteed. I've noticed it sometimes hang on "verifing dmi pool data" on bootup. Is something wrong here?

Also, while trying to get some quick info on that I found this:

The Desktop Management Interface is supposed to be a uniform protocol agreed upon by manufacturers. The protocols were introduced by Intel and agreed to by most manufacturers. But the protocols are not mandatory and not everyone has implemented them completely. Therefore, system information can show variable validity from one machine to another.

This warning is very common with all sysinfo tools, like Aida, Sandra, and Fresh Devices. It is just a reminder not to immediately believe everything you read

Abraxas, Thanks for that info. I've been worried since I flashed the bios whether everything went right or not. This was just something else to worry about. When I gater all the info, I got a couple more bios related questions to toss out there. I'll post later today.

Thanks, Blu
