I have an uATX (Micro) Motherboard thart has a Phoenix D686 BIOS in it and I need to get the lestest update download for it, I have looked for it, but cannot find it anywhere. I do not have windows installed on the hard drive yet, but when I try the system either hangs, or just reboots itself.

Yes, why do you feel you need a BIOS update?
When you have a problem with the system the BIOS is usually the very last thing you think about, a last resort when all else has failed.
First thing to do is to check your memory and hard disk. Make sure they are in good working order. You can get a hard disk diagnostic from the disk manufacturers and a memory checker here: http://www.memtest.org/
