1212438 2011-06-27 03:47:00 I can't even change my boot setting so I guess I might be forced to use Floppy... Zoonosis (16441)
1212439 2011-06-27 04:31:00 any other ideas? Zoonosis (16441)
1212440 2011-06-27 04:38:00 Reboot hold down F1 / F2. See what happens. Did you hold the delete key down, after rebooting?? Not just press it once?

Other than that, take it back to the shop or whoever flashed the BIOS

Tell them to fix it, so you can use it.

1212442 2011-06-27 05:14:00 it looks to me like the bios needs flashing again. Maybe the original owner flashed it because he was having the same problem... Good thing you can get replacement bios chips for these boards

How much is the chip? Easy to replace? Or could I just re-flsh via floppy?

1212445 2011-06-27 05:22:00 Well flash it if you can, see what happens Speedy Gonzales (78)
1212446 2011-06-27 05:23:00 The manual says Press DEL to enter the bios. And you say that does not work.

Have you downloaded the manual?

1212447 2011-06-27 05:24:00 You could try reflashing it, but that depends on how you do it. But, you probably wont get far, if you cant even get past the post screen

The O.P's mobo is reporting a bios error then proceeds to look for a fdd to flash from, there is no fdd, so thats why it halts.
If you install a fdd, and insert a floppy containing the flashing utility, it should reflash
