This message is strange to award bios. Please post the correct error message so we can help you.

That is the exact error message, but I did get the system to boot. Removed AGP and started system to generate POST error. Reinstalled AGP and system started OK.

Thanks

I think it is more common to Intel boards but I think some BIOSs can be set to scan the flash area. Maybe this means that they check disks for an updated image. If so perhaps your BIOS is thinking that a BIOS update is available from your hard disk. I know this is sort of a bit of a long shot.....
