The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Error "167 no processor bios update" on IBM 300PL type 6862

Asked by losgadas in General Computer Systems

Tags: 167, bios, error, processor, ibm

Just bought two used ibm desktops, and when booting up get msg below:
Error "167 no processor bios update" on IBM 300PL type 6862

I guess this means the bios needs to be loaded or updated.  However, I've been to the ibm site and can not download the bios.  Been to other sites also, and do not seem to be able to download the bios anywhere.

Has anyone seen this problem?  is it really because of the bios? Anyone knows where I can download a copy of the bios for these computer?

Thanks in advance.
