So I've previously had this problem when I added new SATA hard drives to an old one, all I had to do was switch hard disk priority to the one I wanted to boot from. But that's not working right now.
Error message: AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI!
Specs:
I disconnected all hard drives, connected the IDE, installed Ubuntu, and rebooted. I got a "AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI!" message.
What I tried:
So I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
Edit: there were many suggestions to try clear the CMOS, however that didn't seem to help the posters. I haven't tried that, but if people suggest I should then I will do so tomorrow.
Error message: AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI!
Specs:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte ma785gmt-ud2h
- Four SATA hard drives, three 2tb and one 1tb
- One IDE hard drive, 160gb
- 6gb RAM
- Everything else is the default
I disconnected all hard drives, connected the IDE, installed Ubuntu, and rebooted. I got a "AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI!" message.
What I tried:
- Have the IDE be given priority over other hard drives.
- Connecting all the hard drives back, with and without the IDE hard drive. Same message.
- Disconnect all hard drives, connect IDE, and set BIO to opimised defaults. Same message.
- Disconnect CD drive with only IDE attached, same message. Reconnect CD drive, same message.
- Disconnect CD drive with only SATA attached, same message. Reconnect CD drive, same message.
- Disconnect CD drive with SATA and IDE attached, same message. Reconnect CD drive, same message.
- Just IDE connected, mess with the peripheral settings by changing "OnChip SATA Type" to ATHCI, RAID, or IDE. Tried this with "As SATA Type" and with "IDE" set for the port4/5 type
- Just IDE connected, disable SATA controller
- Disconnect IDE, reconnect original hard drives. I still get the same DMI message.
- Attempt to boot from the SATA hard drive that has Ubuntu on it, using each of the SATA ports.
- Update BIOS to F10B, disabling the "Remember DMI" option. I reconnected all hard drives and the CD drive (the pdf said the 'system' will redetect all devices). Now I got the "AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI! Update Success" message, still hanging there. Rebooted, now it's the original message.
So I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
