| 695219 | 2008-08-06 03:08:00 | Go into the BIOS and set it to its default settings, then reconfigure it. (You should do this AFTER you flash a BIOS). And / or replace the CMOS battery. It maybe flat. |

| 695220 | 2008-08-06 05:25:00 | Welcome to PressF1. Does it say something like "bios checksum error" or is it "bios ROM checksum error". What is the EXACT error message? If it's complaining about a ROM checksum error it's serious. If it's just a bios checksum error it will succumb to Speedy's approach. |

| 695225 | 2008-08-07 23:02:00 | You DONT need a new BIOS chip. Replace the battery, its on the motherboard | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 695226 | 2008-08-07 23:54:00 | Why replace battery? 3.25v sounds healthy to me... So what happens when you turn the PC on. Can you write down the exact message that appears on screen? or even take a photo if you can... |

| 695227 | 2008-08-07 23:58:00 | Why not, it'll probably be cheaper, than trying to find out where or how to replace the BIOS. If the BIOS was stuffed, it would be dead as a dodo |
