K9VGM-V motherboard for AM2 BIOS ROM checksum error

Hi everyone, i need some help about my comp.
When i turn on the computer, it just show
BIOS ROM checksum error
Detecting floppy drive A media
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
When i insert the boot disket, it just apper to show
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER all the time.
Is there something wrong with the boot disk ?
I also insert the award flash program and recent BIOS for my board in the disk,
but it do not work.
At the top of the screen it show
AWARD BOOTBLOCK V1.0
I also try to reset the bios by the jumper, remove the battery and reinstall all the component attach to it.
It dont work either.
Please, i need some help now.

Read Moan Guide 1st.
That message suddenly arrive when you turn ON PC? (You haven't tryed to flash BIOS or something? )
Remove power cord from the PSU then leave one memory stick only in 1st DIMM near to CPU socket and do Clear CMOS
Retry to boot.

Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0 / BIOS ROM Checksum Error

I tried to flash the BIOS through windows and got a checksum error, then made the mistake of rebooting the computer. Now I get the Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0 / BIOS ROM Checksum Error. It asks me to insert a floppy with the BIOS, which I have done based on the directions I've found in this forum. The following is on the disk:
autoexec.bat, which contains the command AWFL859G.EXE W7030NMS.180 /py /sy /cc /cp /cd /sb /r
AWFL859G.EXE, the bios install program
W7030NMS.180, the latest bios version for this motherboard (K8N Neo Platinum)
When I boot up it detects the floppy drive, starts to run it, and then the entire machine shuts down. I've disconnected all the drives except for the floppy, but no dice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!

See .. :
What options do I have
Do you know someone with a NF3 250GB mobo you can bring the PLCC bios chip over and hotflash it in that persons mobo .
I hotflashed my Neo1 chip in a Abit Nforce2 NF7-S motherboard , criteria is that you must have a motherboard running award 6 bios and 4Mbit chip
and use that motherboards flasher .
So my hotflash in NF2 mobo had to be done with NF2 chipset flasher (awfl820) and /f switch .
I ended up giving up and buying a new board, the MS-7032 K8T-Neo V. I swapped it out and no issues, and it was cheaper than sending back the one I had to get it reflashed. Still, there ought to be a better way to get something like this fixed. I read that some board manufacturers are now putting a backup bios chip that can't get overwritten on their boards, so if the working one gets lost it automatically gets re-flashed by the original one. Hope MSI does that soon.

W500 not starting - HELP - unable to locate BIOS ROM; Fatal error during GPU init

hi gurus,
Following problem:
when i start W500 (ubuntu) it stays with the black screen, not even displaying initial ThinkPad message, where you might press the ThinkVantage blue button, to go to BIOS. It just stays black and does nothing.
Than I press Power button for a few seconds to shut it down and try again. Still black screen.
The same procedure again and again and sometimes W500 boots up, sometimes wants to go to recovery mode, sometimes not.
Sometimes, after the black screen it displays the message:
Invalid ROM contents
ERROR Unable to locate BIOS ROM
Fatal error during GPU init
Anyone had the same problems?
What are the possible checks i might execute, to check up W500?
cheers
lenowiow

Update: I have now tried compiling vbios.bin and int10.bin directly into the kernel. No success.

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.

K8N Neo2 Platinum Checksum Error

Hi, I apologize if I break any rules here, but I tried to use the search option to locate an answer but couldn't find anything that helped me fully.
My problem is that when I try to turn on my computer, I get a message saying:
"Award Bootblock BIOS v1.0
Copyright 2000 Award Software Inc.
BIOS ROM checksum error
Keyboard error or no keyboard present.
Detecting floppy drive A media
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER".
Except this, my computer is completely "dead", I cannot go anywhere. From what I have understood, my BIOS is corrupted, and I need to flash it. This should be done by inserting a boot floppy with added AWDFLASH.exe and a bios.bin. The thing is, I don't know how to find these files, or at least the correct ones. I have also tried to google for a solution, but haven't found anything satisfactionary. So this is kind of my last resort. I am very sorry if this is a newbie question, but I have almost no experience in this advanced (from my perspective) knowledge.
If someone could help me locate the correct verisons of the Award Flash utility and BIOS file, and write a short step by step-walkthrough of how to proceed, you would have my eternal gratitude.
My system is a 4 years old:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G S939 with nForce 3 Ultra
Windows XP Home
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 Ghz
Gainward GeForce 7800 GS 512 Mb
2x TwinMos 512 Mb RAM PC3200
Maxtor Diamondmax 200 Gb SATA
MS-7025 Ver: 1 is printed on the motherboard.

This one is stuck in Award bootblock mode, will most likely need a re-flash from a bootable floppy disk.
Make a bootable floppy disk, in e.g WinXP.
Make a file with notepad, containing this line:
AWFL833D.EXE W7025NMS.1D0 /CC /CD /CP /QI /R /PY /SN
Save this file on this floppy by the name Autoexec.bat
Also add the two files AWFL833D.EXE and W7025NMS.1D0 on this floppy.
Power up the K8N Neo2 Plat. with this disk in the floppy drive. The flashing will begin, let it finish.
Remove floppy and reboot. If it succeeded, set all relevant values in BIOS and save&exit.

Not always, the same fake error message can came from bad memory stick too.
Also he didn't flash his BIOS before the message to appear.

Biosrom checksum error

I needed the bios update for a Compaq Presario SR5019UK to fix a problem with the computer namely blue screen issue (0x5C) when resuming from Hibernate mode and black screen issue when resuming from Sleep mode. So I downloaded the bios update and followed the instructions. Very easy just double click the file - but on rebooting I have the message below :
Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c) 2000. Award Software, Inc.
BIOS ROM checksum error
Detecting floppy drive A media
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
As you can see the bios is corrupted or toast.
So I rang HP as I don't know if I can fix this and they said the machine is to old to fix and basically swallow it!..What there saying is if I cannot do a system restore then hard luck but I've explained the computer cannot do this at the moment as it doesn't know what to do with the hardware because of the BIOS corruption. Swallow this...I don't think so!!!
Firstly what are my options for fixing this?..as I understand I have to reflash or replace the chip - which I have no means of doing.
What is your opinion on downloading a program from a website and that causing a corruption or replacement - would you swallow this?
I've given HP the option of fixing it but they wont cos of the age. {Content Removed} I just want them to fix or replace the machine.
What do you guys think?
Compaq Presario SR5019UK (at the moment a very expensive door stop)
Windows Vista 32bit
I've have a Computer Engineering degree so don't worry about your explanation

Sorry, but HP isn't the only company that would handle this situation this way. You have a six year old machine that is no longer supported and no longer under warranty. No company has the resources to maintain support for older products, especially when new ones are rotated in about every six months. I know this doesn't make you feel warm and fuzzy inside but these are the cold hard facts.
Since this is a peer-to-peer user supported forum and most of us on this don't work for HP, I can only give you my opinion and advice.
*****EDIT*****
Since you resolved your issue without my assistance, I have retracked the steps I listed to download the BIOS and flash it from a floppy via the "Award Boot Block".
Congratulations and good luck!!!
Please send KUDOs

Dell 7520 (15r SE) BIOS checksum error

Hi everyone,
After sucessfully upgrading my laptops BIOS from A09 to A11 yesterday it booted normally but today it just beeps (single beep every few seconds -> ROM checksum error...).
Is there a recovery method like the Phoenix Crisis tool or such to recover a broken BIOS or can I flash the BIOS using an SPI-Flash programmer?
Thanks,
Jakob Riepler

[GeForceFX] Bios.rom file needed for a FX5200

Bear with me guys, I know I'm gonna get flamed for this.
I've recieved a MSI FX5200-TD128 video card that's been flashed with the wrong bios. I need to find someone that has this card and can make a backup of thier video bios and upload it to a website data base where I can download it from for testing.
This is the board I'm talking about, http://www.msicomputer.com/product/vga/vga_detail.asp?model=FX5200_TD128
Here is a link to a forum I've been working on this card with. http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,34/func,view/id,22724/catid,13/
This card is supposed to have a 64 bit interface running 128 megs of ram but the post screen info and display properties show it having only 64 megs of ram. If I can find the correct bios to reflash it with it should show correctly at 128 megs of memory.
I've already posted quite a few pics of the card on that forum so I won't link them in here unless it's really needed. That site also has all the tools needed to make a backup of a vid bios, flash a new vid bios and edit a bios. You''l need to join in order to upload a bios file to their data base. I recommend it in case you ever have a problem with the bios on your vid card.

Just send an email to [email protected] for the BIOS, normally they are very willing to send you that version.

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!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

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.

Bios rom check sum

When I turn on my computer it says, bios rom check sum. I know nothing about computers and I would like any advice please thank you

Assuming this came up and there was no fiddling with the PC before this, then either the BIOS has been corrupted or there is another hardware problem. I would first try to replace the CMOS battery, then if that does not work, it might be time to consider replacing the motherboard or the whole PC. The spec page for that PC says it is from late 2007, which if the CMOS battery was never changed, then that might be the problem.

Where can I purchase the motherboard for T60 model 2623-KEU?

Need new motherboard for Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0

My son's Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0 went completely t*ts up. I think it is a common fault and requires a bios reset or something. Anyway I'm thinking a new motherboard will do the trick.
Any help as to which motherboard to get that is compatible and would this actually help?
Thanks.

Hi nessie
It is not easy to find new motherboard and believe me it is pretty expensive so you can buy new notebook.
What you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider at first. Explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this. They are also able to obtain new motherboard for you.
Addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
