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!

Intel SE7505VB2 BIOS update failing

Asked by wcoil in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, Computer Motherboards

Hello all,
  I am trying to update the BIOS on a customers PC.  They are getting NMI: Parity errors when shutting down the PC and sometimes just randomly when the PC is not being used.  I have already tested known working RAM and the customers ram with memtest and have not gotten any errors.  I have also ran a Hard Drive Diag and CPU test just to make sure and have not gotten any errors on those either.  I have Cleared the CMOS and removed the jumper that normally blocks the BIOS Update and have made sure that BIOS Update Block is disabled in the existing BIOS.  When I try to install either of the BIOS updates directly from Intel's site I get this error:  Part ID not found in table of supported parts.
  I have also tried the automatic .bat file and the user input .bat file which are both included with the BIOS update file.  Here's the link to the bios update file that I have tried to use:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=9659&ProdId=918&lang=eng
  Updating the BIOS is the last step that I can think of to get rid of the intermittent NMI: Parity error.  Other than an actual motherboard failure.
Any help would be appreciated.
