Bios Problem, Help Please!?

hypojam · 12-31-2007, 05:48 PM

Hi, everytime i boot my computer it says 'there is not enough space in the runtime area, smbios data will not be available'

What does this mean, ive only just built this computer and i am dissapointed that crap like this is happening.

My Mobo is a MSI K9N6SGM-V

Ill try to help you out but im not very knowledgable about bios. How much ram do you have first of all?

hypojam · 12-31-2007, 06:29 PM

1gb But this issue isnt related to the RAM as far as im aware, some kinda bios issue

massahwahl · 12-31-2007, 06:30 PM

Have you installed an OS yet? Or is this as far as you can get period? Also, what bios version do you have right now?

You may want to try removing the battery on the motherboard for a minute or so and removing and reseating the ram sticks, see if that has any affect.

i built a msi motherboard years ago.
this board might not have a battery.
might have to take off a jumper.
just a thought .

Yep installed windows xp, 3dmarked it and its performing just as it should, ive tried resetting the bios, unplugging everything(hdd.cdrom ect..), tried everything possible bios wise to try and fix this but the error just always come back

beeps twice and says 'there is not enough space in the runtime area, smbios data will not be available'

So you have no way of getting into windows? Might be a good idea to give MSI a call and see what they have to say

No No, the board is performing as it should. Just that initial error comes up and its something to do with the bios, what i want to know is how to stop it coming up
