Error Cannot Write Escd
quote Error -- can't write ESCD by retro games 100 » 2009-7-17 @ 18:24 Mobo: Asus PVI-486SP3 (rev 1.22), SIS chipset. BIOS: Award 4.50PG The "BIOS jumpers" on the mobo are set to the EEPROM setting. When I power on the mobo, the BIOS POST screen says "Error -- can't write ESCD". I tried removing the button battery, then replacing it. That worked! - it removed the error message. But I've just changed a few things on the board: 1) removed a COM port cable that wasn't working, 2) added SB16 card, 3) added serial card -- and now I get the ESCD error message back again. Should I try and remove the mobo button battery again? (Please note - I've briefly tested the board, and it seems OK. Perhaps I shouldn't worry too much about this error message?) retro games 100 l33t Posts: 4476Joined: 2008-5-03 @ 17:46 Top Reply with quote Re: Error -- can't write ESCD by DosFreak » 2009-7-17 @ 18:59 You should probably get another battery.

I just got a bit further with my tests. If I go to the BIOS setup chipset section, and set both onboard serial/com ports to disabled, then the "ESCD error" is displayed on POST. If I set both serial/com ports back to their default Enabled values, the "ESCD error" disappears.

Try clearing the CMOS memory (without flashing the whole BIOS) using the UniFlash utility. Also, what BIOS version do you have? 5u3 Oldbie Posts: 1566Joined: 2005-9-06 @ 12:23Location: Vienna, Austria Top Reply with quote Re: Error -- can't write ESCD by retro games 100 » 2009-7-22 @ 17:27 Solved; see here -> Before I solved this problem, I tried running Unifla

Try going in to the bios and setting it at default. ESCD contains the plug and play information about your computer, and it is accessed every boot.

I think its the one causing all the trouble. I just hate that beep and the message. Thanks smokin1!

You could try clearing the cmos by shorting the pins on your mobo, and see if that helps. The oth
