Here is the message i get when i "cold" boot my PC-PIIB patched 1006.
"Hardware monitor found an error, enter POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP for
details"
When i go there i don't see anything special ...
Does anyone have any suggestion ?

AsusTek didn't answer any mail !

Thanks for your help

Look at all readings in the power management screen in the BOIS. Some
reading is off enough that the BIOS thinks it is wrong. Are the voltages
and fan speeds (if enabled) ok. Watch the voltage readings; do any of them
have a [error] flashing on and off beside it. If not, then try flashing
back to your old BIOS (you did back it up to the flash disk, as instructed
to) and see what happens. Good luck,
Bob

If you haven't switched off AC power do so to reset the hardware monitor.
If you get a high/low beeping on first boot from AC power off, VCore or
VIO may be more than .2V from nominal. Disable all monitoring and
re-enable one at a time to isolate the error, for example, a fan speed
less than 2650 or so may cause an error.

Try going to the Power management setup and entering setup defaults or bios defaults, I don't
remember which, for that page.

I'm experiencing the same problem except I have a P5A board.

At first I thought it might be a temperature problem, but individuals on
the list have kindly advised that temperatures in the 30 - 50 C range
for the CPU are okay.

In looking at the voltages under the Power Management setup, I find a
"4.0 err" message following the reading for the +3.3V. For the vcore
reading it says 2.1V.

I took apart the case and examined the jumper settings for 300Mhz AMD
K6-2 processor and it seems to be setup correctly as per the manual. In
fact, the boards was correctly figured out of the box.

Can anyone advise as to why the voltage readings are what they are?

The case and power supply are only about 1 1/2 old.

Txs,

Sounds like a power supply problem. Can you get one to try? If you can and
it's still reading 4.0volts, the MB has a problem.

Check your fan RPM monitors in the BIOS - chances are it's trying to read
the ATX power supply's RPMs, and there aren't any. Look for ERROR or 0 RPMs.
In the P2B, at least, it comes enabled by default. You have to set it to
IGNORE, like the case fan (assuming you're not using fans that have RPM
monitoring).
