Red Clock Inside PC Case

Hello Everyone!

I noticed that i have like, a digital clock thingy inside my case. It shows two red letters FF everytime im thinking its to do with the temperature but why does it show FF? How can i set it up properly? I was looking at google but didnt know what to search for! (Kinda braindead at the moment lol)

Appreciate all the help!

Thank You!

(BTW - Mr Skint and Genghis and Scotsman - I dont have Infrared Monitor in my services at all? Whats going on here? - THREAD - Am i Being SPied On?)

Thanks

    Now look here I dont want to panic you but is there anyone who is remotely
    piggy backing your connection, i.e is there a car outside with someone with a laptop
    outside, a nieghbour who is getting onto your connection.

    To other forum members please dont panic or send me your views
    as this is a bit of a theory more than anything.

    Mr Skint - I'll get back to you...On This Thread..Thanks

    - Its inside inside, towards the bottom but as its a tower its on the right side. Small and only shows two digits/letters. Im sure it runs some numbers when i boot up but then goes to 'FF' ?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Had a look around and if you have an Epox motherboard. The FF means Fully Functioning.

    This was just taken from the Thread Beeps, on the Techie forum.

    If its relevant Rex_Mundi gets the credit.

    You should have a EPOX manual with all the codes and what they mean.

    Its a very good little tool to assist you if you have any failures/problem hardware.

    If you watch the LED when you switch on you should see it going through many different codes, finally stopping on FF meaning everything is ok.

    This is for booting dianostics. If you watch this as soon as you turn it on you will see it count up. This is each stage of the motherboard boot process before windows takes over the running of your system.
    Usefull to have.

    It is an in-built equivilent of this:
