Some systems ie: ASUS mobos use Crashfree BIOS which will fix a screwed up BIOS update, u put the mobo cd in and it'll fix it.

Or Gigabyte mobos, which have 2 BIOS chips. (Well some or most of them).

However, I dont think this will apply to HP systems, kill the BIOS, its dead. You'll have to get it reprogrammed or replaced.

I doubt that you can reset a BIOS if u screw it, the system wont boot even if u remove the BIOS jumper.

549976 2007-05-15 07:12:00 Upgrading the BIOS is something to be done with great care, and only if the upgrade is known to fix a a problem which is known to exist on the computer.

A "BIOS checksum error" is almost certainly a checksum error on the saved BIOS configuration settings. The usual cause of that is a dead "CMOS battery": the little lithium cell. Replace that, reset the configuration in the BIOS setup ("use defaults" will probably be OK) and "Save and Exit".
