whats the os exactly? and what about service pack?
its possible a bios update will fix it but before you go for it try 2 things
1) get the latest service pack for that os ,if it aint alredy installed
2) get the latest chipset driver
if those 2 didnt help then go for the bios updating , but be extra careful
get it from the manufacturer site and not from a 3rd party site also get it for that exact mobo and revision (ecs tend to do several revisions of nearly each of their mobos) to find out the mobo model & revision i suggest youll use
everest or have a good look on the mobo itself , also read the updating instructions , anyway usally you can update it in two ways from windows or from a bootable floppy its better to do it the 2nd way as its safer and i suggest youll use
this bootdisk its specially designed for bios updating
, if he dont have a floppy drive or floppy disks i can make a bootable iso that will automatically start updating after booting , of course first ill have to know the mobo model/revision
