| 512260 | 2007-01-15 02:15:00 | The BIOS code is checked every time by the POST . If it had been corrupted, that would cause a checksum error, and the boot process would stop . That's a fatal error . If the BIOS configuration data in the "CMOS" memory is lost, that is non-fatal . It too is always checked in the POST . I know that's the usual checksum error, but it's a different error . It would be rare for the BIOS code to be corrupted, except by someone having an accident while "flashing" a new version . That's why I suggested that this has not happened . |
