Hello!
My computer bootup stops at
"Updating ESCD ...
Building DMI Pool ."
in 7 seconds after turning on. How to make my computer bootup?
My mainboard is Chaintech 6btm. Reseting BIOS to default settings did
not help.
Best regards,
Dima

Thats not that unusual, basically its the last text that is put
on the screen before the drivers etc are loaded, so if there
is a problem with that, that is what you see on the screen.

Try a logged boot, from the F8 menu, that should
show how far its getting and what it stops booting at.

If there isnt anything useful that comes out of the logged boot,
see what happens if you unplug any non essential cards.

If that still stalls, check for bad caps on the motherboard.

Thanks Rod for your suggestions!
The F8 does not appear on the screen to call the F8 menu.
Do you mean jumpers or cards by the caps on the motherboard?

It doesnt need to to work, and the timing of hitting it can be
a bit tricky, so if it doesnt work the first time, try another boot.

No, caps is an abbreviation of capacitors. These are the usually
blue or black plastic covered post like things that stick up vertically
from the motherboard surface. The tops should be flat. If any have
bulged or have leaked, thats a bad cap and can be the problem.

Thanks Rod for your explanation!
Clearing the CMOS by a jumper raplacement helped!
