The Register schrijft dat het BIOS van de Epox 7KXA tijdens het installeren van Windows 95 4.00.950 getrashed kan worden. Volgens c't magazine zijn ook andere borden, waaronder die van NMC en AOpen, gevoelig voor het probleem:
Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer Epox has issued a warning that installing a version of Windows 95 on its Athlon 7KXA motherboard which uses a Via chipset can cause BIOS corruption. But a similar problem appears to affect other Athlon mobos using the KX133 chipset too.According to this Epox page, installing the retail release of Windows 95 4.00.950 (Retail Release) affects the BIOS, meaning that a consumer's PC will not work next time it is rebooted.
Epox is suggesting that the best workaround for the problem is to avoid installing this particular implementation of Windows 95, instead installing OSR2x or later.
