Your PC will operate as before the main BIOS was damaged and is completely transparent to the user T3 Technical Reference Il Q Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOS technology Answer In today s systems there are more and more BIOS failures The most common reasons are virus attacks BIOS upgrade failures and or deterioration of the BIOS ROM chip itself 1 New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS They may corrupt your BIOS code causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally 2 BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss surge occurs or if a user resets the system or if the power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS upgrade 3 If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file then the system may not be able to boot correctly This may cause the PC system hang in operation or during boot 4 A flash ROM s life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics The modern PC utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS and is updated regularly If a user changes peripherals often there is a slight chance of damage to the flash ROM With Giga Byte Technology s patented DualBIOS technology you can reduce the possibility of hangs during system boot up and or loss BIOS data due to above reasons This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause by BIOS failures Ill Q How does DualB
