Hello Im new here and was told Id get an answer here .I have a PC that is going to go down the road behind the car real fast and soon lol.The problem Im having is it wont start up.I get a error on start up.It tells me

Awards BootBlock BIOS v1.0

BIOS ROM checksum error

Detecting floppy drive A media

Ive tried to load it from a staar up Floppy I made and no luck it starts to load and all new stuff starts to happen.This all started with the wife just shutting it off and all the reading I did today its either my BIOS or MS-DOS?
If anyone knows how to fix this please please help


Ive done some things since my last post.Ive tried to replace memory sticks,battery,new hard drive.No matter what I do it wont go past the A drive.
Does it sound to anyone besides me that the mother board is junk?Its a brand new board and should be fine.

 

In your bios, change the bootup options to boot from hardrive first. See if it will boot up your computer.

 

OK,this is something from the MJ archive (poster is GT):
BIOS ROM checksum error narrows it down pretty conclusively. Two possible problems, three possible solutions.

1. If the error is due to corrupted code in the BIOS chip, try re-flashing the BIOS. If you can do that, reflashing should correct the corrupted code. (If it's too badly damaged you might not be able to re-flash, in which case you'll need either a replacement BIOS ROM chip from the motherboard manufacturer, or a new motherboard.)

2. If the error is due to a physical damage in the BIOS chip itself, reflashing, even if it allows to to re-flash it, won't cure the problem, and you need a new BIOS chip or motherboard.

 

Would it help to remove the motherboard battery then re-seat it or to replace it? Or maybe to go into your BIOS/Set-up by clicking on possibly the "Delete" key when booting up. You can reset your BIOS settings to the Default Settings there. Just a few thoughts. Have no idea if they'll help.

Good luck & keep us posted!
