  • HP Model #A6000n Bios Checksum Error after Bios Update!!

    I performed the Bios update posted on Hp's website...After the re-boot, all I get is this error, "BIOS Checksum Error," and then the black screen looks for a bootable disk on floppy (this computer has none), then, it looks for a bootable disk on the CD drive.  Now, I have talked to HP support and they say I need to order the recovery disks.  Can someone send me a bootable file that I could burn to CD for this model machine and get it up and running??  I have an older machine here that would allow me to make a bootable CD but, I have no idea where to locate some kind of BIOS update and or, bootable file to flash the BIOS.  I am so mad that HP has wanted me to purchase this CD recovery program just to get back into Windows Vista.  But, I am not sure what to do since the BIOS update must have been corrupt when I flashed the ASUS motherboard.  This computer is my Aunts and she failed to make back up restore disks and now I am lost as to getting this thing up and running...Please help!!
    Thanks!

    Like I said, if you have a floppy it is easy, especially since the computer doing the floppy is XP.OK, here we go.
    1) place floppy disk in drive
    2) open My Computer and right click on the floppy drive
    3) pick format from the menu that pops up
    4) put a check mark in the box next to the "Create an MS-DOS startup disk"
    5) click "Start"
    6) when completed copy the awdflash.exe to the floppy
    7) right click on the BIOS file from HP
    8) move the mouse cursor to 7-zip and then click on "open archive"
    9) double click on the folder icon in the new window
    10) right click on the ROM file - in this case 513.rom
    11) pick "copy to" from the menu and browse to the floppy
    12) when that is complete, the floppy should be ready to work
    13) Move the floppy and ribbon cable to the Vista computer.  It does not need to be mounted but make sure it is not touching anything metal ( a stake of books will do fine) and connect the ribbon cable and power to the Vista computer's motherboard and power supply (of course this is done with both of the computers off and unplugged)
    Now ready to go on the Vista computer. When the power button is pressed on the computer, there will be an HP splash screen come up.  From that screen press the "Enter BIOS" or "Boot setup" key as indicated.  Forgot to ask if this screen comes up in previous posts.  If this screen does not show then this is going to be much harder.
    When in the BIOS, look for boot order and then set it to boot from the floppy first.  Save choices to exit.
    14) Reboot - should end up with a flashing cursor in the top right corner
    15) type AWDFLASH 513.rom /py/sn/cc then hit Enter
    16) when and if it completes power down and remove the floppy drive from the computer
    That should do it.  If it does not work or there are problems come back with an explanation of what did happen.
    Of course, doing all this at your own risk.  I am just trying to help.

  • K7N2 - Bios Checksum Error - But wont load program to flash bios

    Hi there, my computer restarted itself due a problem with windows (kernel dll or something arather), since then it wont boot at all, beeps twice and says Bios Checksum error.
    Now i understand this means the Bios is corrupted and i need to re-flash it. I looked at instructions on how to do this and followed them to the button. However, it wouldnt load a boot disk at all so i reset the Cmos using the jumpers.
    After reseting it would now read the disk (i can hear it make noises) but it would only get as far as starting to load the award flash program, i.e. it just says "Starting..." but then the disk will stop reading at it will just hang then doing nothing.
    I've tried numerous disks and numerous bios version numbers (but obviously the right ones for my motherboard: K7N2 Delta series Ms-6570), and i've tried using different types of bootdisk all with the same result.
    Is there anything else i can do? or is it pretty much screwed and i have to take it back to the shop i bought it from and request a new bios chip (technically its still under warranty, as its only 10 months old but would this be covered with the warranty?). I can foresee taking it back being a huge hassle so if there is anything i can do to avoid this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I never cleared the cmos with the power on. Sorry i didnt make it clear, but yeah i always made sure the power was completely out. I left the battery out last night too, but still no change. All cables are on right, and I'll try taking out all the cdrom and cd when i get home. I cant get into Bios (pushing del key). all i get is two beeps and boot block telling me that there is a Bios Rom Checksum error (again, sorry i wasnt being very clear).
    I think it might be pretty much stuffed. I'm tempted just to go to the store and buy another one as they aren't too expensive and probably not too much of a price difference from getting a new bios chip and having to wait for 2 weeks while it gets delivered. But then again maybe i should just be patient and save myself some money.
    Hmm, could it be due to bad RAM? I'll try swapping it with my brother's and see what happens. It's kind of ridiculous that they give the same generic error message for a multitude of different problems, someone should fix that.

  • URGENT HELP!! BIOS Checksum Error, Floppy?

    When I boot up, I get a error saying "BIOS Checksum Error"
    and it asks for a system floppy disk
    I cannot get any further.
    I tried flashing the bios, but this does not work.
    Please help!!!

    oh, yes thats what I meant.
    sometimes the it would not read the floppy
    somtimes it would hang while booting the floppy
    sometimes I could get far enough to run the flasher utility but it would hang
    finally I was able to get far enough to flash the bios, then everything worked fine.
    I guess it just got corrupt some how.
    I set my boot floppy to load zero drivers and do nothing.
    and I set it to run the flash on bootup.
    I think there is a time limit or something before it hangs and gets stuck.
    I also moved my ram from ddr2 to ddr1, that also seemed to help it get farther.
    I just kept trying for like two hours until it worked.

  • ITunes 10.1.2 error message "Errors occurred while installing the updates"

    Getting a blank page on the iTunes store, I was told that updating to 10.1.2 should fix that. Currently running iTunes 9.1.1.12. While downloading the updates, I get the following message:

    I have tried installing the update both ways (through the update utility and manually) several times and I keep getting this error. It's very frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Finally got a response from Apple. They suggested I uninstall Itunes, then download and install the latest version. Worked great and I was able to recover all of my purchases.

  • "Errors occurred while installing the updates"

    "Errors occurred while installing the updates" when trying to install new 11.4 version. Any suggestions? I'm trying to install on my work computer--Windows 7 Professional.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if a particular component won't install normally.

    hi Guys
    Im trying to make the update on my IMAC and i always get an error saying: an error occurred while installing the updates ( 103 )
    Thanks and hope some one can help me
    Cheers

    It would be helpful to know to what update you are referring. For now try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo).
