Hi everyone,
Last week the PSU in my PC went, I have today installed a new one. The system is now displaying the following...
Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c), 2000, Award software, inc.
BIOS ROM checksum error
Detecting floppy drive A media
... I have already done some background reading. First thing to note is the floppy drive is not being recognised at all. I have so far tried 2 floppy drives and neither worked. Therefore i have been unable to attempt a flash of the bios...
I have replaced the CMOS battery and the same message occurs. I am not given the chance to get into the bios to change any settings eg change my boot from floppy to cd drive etc.
Before i spend any more money on this just wondering the following...
Is this message only displayed on bios error? would a new bios chip fix this? I can get one for about a tenner on ebay
Is it common when a PSU goes to take bios with it? I have had a few PSU go in my time and never had this problem.
The board itself doesnt seem to have any burn marks etc. The only thing i havent checked so far is the RAM. Any more ideas?
Look forward to your replies
Dave
