my own pc running w2000 was struggling to use ie6 ,could'nt load some pages (AoeII mulitplaer page) being greedy i tried to reinstall windows as i was told it would solve the problem, how ever during reinstallation my pc tells me that their is device malfunction and setup will halt.
then i couldn't reboot or run set up. Next, try to daisy chain my hd to get vital info off. Had done this before with no problems.
After discovering my hd was faulty and could not be accessed i reconnected the inlaws pc.
Then bios couldn't recognise the inlaws hardrive, so i reset the bios to bios defaults.
Went to reboot and the message:
BIOS CHECK SUM ERROR, come up. then:
checking floppy a media, when a boot disk is inplace it hangs on this with the floppy green light on. if no disk inserted it then says
INSERT SYSTEMDISK. AND PRESS ENTER.
I have tried to reset jumpers, battery and ram with no success. I have also clear cmos, is there a way of creating another systme disk using another pc that will sort out the bios? Should i replace the chip, but i have no acess to another board with the same chip. WHere do you buy these sorts of chips?
It is a fic mobo, quite old, kb-6130v, slot 1
Any advice would be really appreciated
thanks
