computergee Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 A few weeks ago I decided to install a tv-tuner card and when I went to reboot I got a BIOS Checksum error. I have an ASUS board, so it bugged me to put in a CD or Floppy to reflash with. I put in a floppy, but it wouldn't flash, it wouldn't go past " Reading ******.ROM". After much fiddling with resetting the CMOS and such, I decided that my only option was to buy a new BIOS chip. I got that the other day, and it seemed to work with everything stripped down, so I put everything back together, including the tv-tune.r. I turned it on again and got another BIOS Checksum error. This chip does let me flash the BIOS again, and it boots after I flash, but if I reboot the PC again after that it always goes back to a BIOS Checksum error. I have no clue what this problem could be. My CMOS battery is alright, I've cleared the CMOS, although I haven't tried it over night. I don't think it's the RAM. Anyone have any clue what it could be? By the way, the board is a ASUS K8V SE Deluxe. Thanks for any help guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbo191 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Have you tried not installing the TV tuner card after you flash? That could be your whole problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergee Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah, right now everything is stripped to the bare minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syngensmyth Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) How old is the board? A dead CMOS battery will do this. Sorry, I see you said battery is OK. Edited July 25, 2008 by Syngensmyth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
