AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI

[suvo2406]

I recently purchased a Gigabyte board.
78LMT-S2P is the one.I also got a Athlon x2 250 along with it.
Here is the situation.Yesterday when I powered on my pc I got a BSOD(IRQL not less or equal) along with beeps.
So I swapped the ram to the other slot. Its a 2GB DDR3 Hynix-Zion.Now whenever it restarts I get this message, "Verifying DMI Pool Data...AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI."

The pc is running stable, no problem at all.No BSOD, no beeps, been running for 17-18 hours at a stretch.
But that message is bugging me.

I just wanna know what it means and how to remove it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I know it is annoying and a little confusing but the message is not a problem and you don't need to worry about it.

It maybe removed with a future BIOS update but until then you can't remove it yourself.

okay thanks for the quick reply
the latest bios available for this board is dated April 2011 and that's the one i have
since its not a problem, i will leave it at that
thanks man

It's possible that a CMOS clear might get rid of the message but as absic says it isn't a fault just an annoying message. If you want to try clearing the CMOS follow these instructions:

Remove the power cable from the mains supply and then press the power switch on the case for a few seconds just to drain any residual energy in the PSU capacitors.

Once done remove the motherboard battery for at least one hour before replacing it.
 
Next plug back into the mains supply and boot.
 
You will now need to enter the BIOS by pressing DEL and load Optimised BIOS Defaults.

Make any other changes to the BIOS settings to suit your self like disabling the floppy drive, disabling the full screen logo and making the HDD the primary boot device and then press F10 to save and exit.

@DM
Clearing probably CMOS won't help in this situation I'm afraid.

This is part of the normally POST process with the AMD system and was an ever present message on the early series 7 boards. The only way to stop it was when Gigabyte released BIOS updates to hide this message during POST.

I remember this being talked about before and fair enough if that is how it is. I just figured if you could clear the DMI data and start afresh maybe it would clear the message. Obviously not I take it!

Today when I switched on the machine, I saw the message has vanished.
no more "AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI"
only "Verifying DMI Pool Data" as before
thanks for your help guys

Hi Suvo2406,

Don't you just love computers? But don't be surprised if the message comes back from time to time.

This reminded me of how my brother's computer used to "hate" me. It ran perfectly until I wanted to do something - some software installation or test... you wouldn't believe what kind of freakish things happened and every time a stepped out it continued to run perfectly! Weird

Hey Grozdan
huh, i was gonna say the same thing
my sis's pc just hates me.
and weird? just don't talk about it. the hardware just behaved like DISK_READ_ERROR and BSOD and CHASSIS INTRUSION ERROR. I swear i never touched it. i could never make it work.

Hi Suvo2406,

Hey absic
yeah bro
pcs have a temper of their own
they can be annoying but there is nothing more relishing than a new rig
i was so excited when i built my first rig(asus p5lmx+pentium d 820) , turned out to be a disaster though

Slightly off topic but still talking about technology and how some things (people) just cause problems....

I gave my mother my Nokia mobile phone when I upgraded recently. She went off on a six week holiday and came back yesterday, complaining that: "The damn phone you gave me is broken, it just doesn't work and all I get is a black screen. Maybe it needs a new battery or something!"

I said I would have a look at it, took it out of the case, turned it on and it was working fine.

"How did you get it to work?" my mother asked, convinced that it was some kind of voodoo magic that I had used.

"Well" I said " I pressed the power button on the top of the phone and it just switched on."

My mother started laughing and said.... "Damn, I didn't know there was an on/off switch at the top of the phone and I've been pressing the green telephone symbol trying to switch it on..... no wonder it wouldn't work."

Sorry to reanimate the old topic, but I have the same message and it doesn't go . It has appeared after I've added 2 more RAM modules, 2GB each. Some folks say it might be power related. My psu is 450W only. I've even flashed the BIOS by official utility, but I've forgotten to check "clear dmi data". Still, I'd like to investigate the cause, not just get rid of that message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
