I recently flashed my Award BIOS and something seems to have gone very, very wrong.
I have BootBlock BIOS on boot-up and can’t get into CMOS set-up.
Although there did not seem to be a problem with the flash I now get a BIOS Checksum error and BootBlock BIOS message and cant RE-FLASH. I used the correct BIOS update and at first everything seemed fine – but I think I may have inadvertently set Flash BIOS Protection in CMOS setup to ENABLED - the next time I boot I get BootBlock BIOS.
Now I cant get Flash to work because I must heve Flash BIOS Protection enabled……(according to UniFlash.exe) and I cant get into CMOS setup in order to
Flash BIOS Protection due to BootBlock BIOS on boot-up.
When I try to reflash BIOS (using Award Flasher) the BIOS flash starts and at 0% I get the message: Program chip fail! When I try to flash using UniFlash I get message saying Flash BIOS Protection is not set to disabled.
QUESTION:
Is there any OTHER way to Disable Flash BIOS Protection if you can’t get into CMOS setup?
What will happen if I clear CMOS settings using UniFlasher? Would this return Flash BIOS Protection to default setting of disabled?
Any help will be very much appreciated,
