Compaq Evo D51S BIOS

SpeedoJoe · 15 Jun 2007 at 13:32

Until I can make my main system a little quieter I am using a Compaq Evo D51S with a 1.8 Ghz P4 and 1GB PC3200 RAM. The motherboard model is 07E4h.

I was given a socket 478 3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 to try with it, but to no avail. I'm guessing this could be because I'm using an old version fo the BIOS (68602 v1.08, 2.20 exists) but until now I have been unable to find an update to download.

Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

Listed there are all the tools and latest bios up to version 3.18 it appears.

Way to make me feel like an idiot.

Why didn't anything come up when I searched for D51S?

Thanks for that. Highly appreciated.

Ive had this problem on many occasions so its not you mate. The "family" is the d510 with various models under that, for some reason the d51s is still a d510 but they decided to drop the 0. Wierd. I deal with all these machines at work on a daily basis and it had me scratching my head until I worked it out

It didn't help getting the 3 Ghz P4 working, so it's either a dodgy CPU, not enough power or a more persistent limitation.

At least I updated my BIOS.
