Just experienced something very odd. I switched on my workstation and was presented with an unfamiliar and simple black screen/white text which read something like:
Board is an Asus P8Z77-V Pro. The pic in this thread is EXACTLY what I saw: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1902684
This was accompanied by a percent complete timing that went from 0 to 100 % in 30-45 sec. The machine rebooted and my bootloader [rEFInd] was present. I see no evidence that by BIOS was touched; the date and version on the BIOS were as they were before.
Googling the "Do not shut down ... failure" message shows that others have seen this as well but no definitive causes of it... flashing the BIOS to a previous version and then back to the current version from the vendor's website is all I can think to do without more information. I am concerned to say the least. Any thoughts are welcomed.
Code:
BIOS is updating.
Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure.
