| 1212428 | 2011-06-27 02:57:00 | So the very first thing that happens when I start my computer is this: It starts randomly beeping and displays this: Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0 Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc. BIOS ROM checksum error Detecting floppy drive A media... Drive A error. System halt what should I do? motherboard: EVGA 132-YW-E179-A1 nVidia nForce 790i SLI Core 2 Extreme/Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad Socket 775 1600 MHz PC3-16000 (DDR3-2000) ATX Motherboard Retail |

| 1212429 | 2011-06-27 02:59:00 | Remove the floppy if theres one in the floppy (if you use it). Or disable the floppy in the BIOS. If you dont use it. Or set the BIOS settings to its default settings / reconfigure them, save Or replace the CMOS battery. Did you flash the BIOS recently? |

I do not have any floppy drives attached. I can't even access the BIOS, that's the first message I get when I press the power button. I could run down the street to the store and get a battery within 10mins. |

| 1212431 | 2011-06-27 03:14:00 | Did the guy flash it with the right BIOS? What key are you pressing (to try and get into the BIOS)?? The delete key? (it maybe something else) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

(it maybe something else) Guess I 'm not sure, if he used the wrong one, is there a way to fix it without a floppy? And yes, I used the delete key. |

| 1212433 | 2011-06-27 03:25:00 | If whoever flashed the BIOS is down the road as well. I would take it back and tell them to fix it. They should at least check it. So it'll actually boot / work after they flash the BIOS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

So it'll actually boot / work after they flash the BIOS Well I they just wanted to get rid of it so I'm tryin' to fix it. I'm usually good with computers, this just has me stumped. |

| 1212435 | 2011-06-27 03:32:00 | Could i just re-flash? | Zoonosis (16441) | ||
| 1212436 | 2011-06-27 03:36:00 | Pull the CMOS battery out on the mobo for about 1 min. Then put it back in. Then see if you can get into the BIOS. If you can reconfigure it / save the settings. You could try reflashing it, but that depends on how you do it. You may need a floppy or usb flash. Or windows. But, you probably wont get far, if you cant even get past the post screen |

| 1212437 | 2011-06-27 03:45:00 | yeah true, I wouldn't even know how to re-flash because I can't get into windows or my BIOS. I pulled the battery for a min. and it still is doin' the same thing | Zoonosis (16441) | ||
