I got a motherboard from a auction and this is as far as it goes. this is the first time I've seen this verifing DMI Pool Data. I'm not sure what it's doing. I've tried differant hard drives but get the same message.

Most likely, you have a board with a damaged ISA slot.

so your hd doesnt start up? does it freeze at verifying dmi pool data? because if it does is because it wont find the hdd, so you have to change the jumper settings, it should be connected to the primary ide cord and the jumper on the hdd should be on master, also go to your bios setup and make sure the boot order is c: first ex: c: . c: 3.5 a: , c: 3.5 a: cdrom.

also this happens when the operating system isnt working on the hard drive, if so reformat and reinstall windows.
i have no idea if this will help you, if not too bad, if so than good.

My Award BIOS Tyan Motherboard does this every time it boots; however, it does not stop and hang there. On the few occasions I have had it hang, I look for incorrect dettings in the BIOS. (This DMI seems to be some kind of list in the bios of what drivers interface with the motherboard.
When worst comes to worst and I can find nothing, I have corrected this by installing DEFAULT BIOS settings.

Had the same problem, and tried every method in the book and web to fix. Eventually sorted it by resetting the CMOS and removing the cable attached to the back of the disk. Setting the CMOS without removing the disk cable failed to work!!

It is your motherboard Problem, it can be just a cart is not inserted all the way , or also you demage a slot, or your memory slot.
sometimes flashing the bios will correct the problem.unless motherboard is out of order

This message may occur. It is not an error msg ! When a PC hangs after displaying this msg, it means the OS can't boot !

halo every body,

it is pooling all the h/w in the system as a data and providing it to the os so it takes all the control from there onwards, it can be edited as every one knows in bios config editing, i think this give all info about dmi.

I have disconnected all devices except a floppy drive & a video card. Still hangs saying "Building DMI pool". Unable to even access the floopy drive either. Cleared CMOS,
loaded default settings, disabled cache, did not help.

Thanks in advance for any other suggestions

you have to re-set the CMOS default on you motherboard
pull the pin on the discharge jumper from pins 1&2 and then put to 2&3 then back again to re-set
good luck

I have the same problem:
Comp started up after I added some more RAM, and the computer didn't take it becouse it hanged when it loaded win2000. Then I removed the new RAM and after that it froze just after these lines:
Verifying DMI Pool Data
Update Successful

Keyboard and everything dies. It's very annoying. :)
