I recently got my new comp hoem after a mate built it up. It was working fine but when i turned it on last night it comes up with this

 

Award Bootblock Bios V1.0

 

Bios Rom Checksum error

 

Insert diskette and press enter

 

 

and gives a loud beep before this, no bios screen is displayed either and i have read the manual and it says if this occurs then the backup bios should kick in. What disk is it after as it seems to want me to reflash bios.

 

Thanx

Try setting the jumper to clear the cmos first then see what happens

I think that the Award Bootblock BIOS is a built in BIOS recovery thingy. I think it allows you to boot up and flash the BIOS in the event of a corrupted BIOS.

 

Personally, I think you should try and ring the dealer where you brought the board from before attempting anything.

The dealer is a mate and i have already rang him and he dont have a clue, i thought the same thing but it doesnt give me any options to reflash bios by booting to backup bios. I can get into dos but when i do the keyboard is disabled by the computer.

When I had this message on my system, I rang the shop where I brought it, they said that I should bring it back.

 

What kind of Keyboard are you using USB or PS/2. The Bootblock BIOS is very basic. It provides very basic keyboard access (no numeric keypad). Try another keyboard and see if it helps

 

Try ringing the place where the parts were purchased and see what they have to say.

Ok! rang my supplier and he was inplying that i had been in the CMOS and had corrupted the BIOS

 

1. I haven't been in the bios

2. If i had, i know what im doing anyway

3. How the he11 could i corrupt the fu(k1ng BIOS

 

I thought the whole point in the Dual Bios was to stop this from happening?

 

Does Gigabyte give a service like ASUS where you can send the motherboard directly to Gigabyte themseleves and have them check it over?

I don't know. The dealer should reflash the BIOS.

Supplier has said that he will send it back off tomorrow, will let you guys know what happens.
