Rikard Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) I can't help you much im afraid, Although "ATI 3D Rage Pro Turbo " may sound powerful (and quite cool) i think its very old, as in February 1998 old Edited September 10, 2006 by Rikard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2-Fan Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 That is telling me that the previous owner has put a password on the bios of the motherboard. I think you should be able to get into the bios when you switch on by pressing the delete key. You can normally switch it off in there. If not you will probably need to flash the bios to clear it or clear the bios by removing the pin on the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
