Troubleshoot DMI Pool Error on TF-486 Motherboard

TF-486 motherboards were used from about 2006 to 2008, and sold as replacements from 2008 until 2010.
To enter CMOS setup, hold the Del key after you power up.
After "entering setup" prompt, the CMOS main screen should appear. The CMOS screens shown are similar to many of the earlier motherboards used. NOTE: Depending on the version of motherboard you have, you may see a warning screen. Press Enter to get past it.
