| 816918 | 2009-10-04 22:34:00 | This board has done the same thing to me twice now. First time was couple of months ago, now it's done it again. Everything will appear to be working but just after windows starts booting it crashes with BSOD. This time it referenced NTFS.SYS but I can't remember if the previous crash was the same After restarting the PC it tells me my BIOS is corrupted, and crashfree recovers the BIOS from a floppy disk, and then everything works again. I'm suspecting the BIOS chip is a bit dodgy - maybe losing information somehow? - has anyone else got any ideas as to what might cause this? |

Or put it on a flash drive / extract the dos files / boot.com's files to it, then reflash it. Sounds like a mobo I flashed a while back. The 1st time, it wouldnt even get past the post screen. So, I flashed it again,. Then about 2-3 weeks ago, it had a similar prob. Kept saying recovery something, and looking for a floppy / the cd. On every 2-3 reboot. I havent fixed it again (yet). Since the guy's over the Nth shore. This is also an ASUS (a socket 775) |

| 816920 | 2009-10-05 01:15:00 | Yeah it was already running the latest BIOS and I have recovered it to the same version. Now I'm getting more weird BSODs and lockups, I think the board is stuffed. Might try a new BIOS chip and see though (if I can find a suitable spare) |

| 816921 | 2009-10-05 01:34:00 | Whats the BSOD say? Does it show the name of a file / driver? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 816922 | 2009-10-05 02:00:00 | The original post mentioned ntfs.sys. I don't know what the current problem(s) relate to. |

| 816923 | 2009-10-05 03:48:00 | I dont think the stuffed BIOS is making it crash. Connect it to a working system and copy ntfs.sys to it. Just make sure its for the right OS and the same version / SP is installed | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 816924 | 2009-10-05 04:35:00 | POst the BSOD!! | pctek (84) | ||
| 816925 | 2009-10-05 11:00:00 | It is not the same error every time, it is completely random as far as I can tell. Also, a few times the BSOD itself was corrupted as little blue and black squares, and one time the PC just locked up. I suspect serious hardware fault |

| 816926 | 2009-10-05 19:22:00 | I wonder if Asus boards have a bios problem. I have an Asus P5N-EM-HDMI board and sometimes on boot up it sticks at the bios screen. Most times it just flicks through the Asus Logo/ Bios screen no problems. It has done this since new July last year. About a week ago it stuck there for so long that I hit the reset button to reboot and it booted up normally. :) |

Has the same problem as yours:( |
