Problem with BootBlock: are corrupted ?
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2005 6:08 pm
Hi
I have a problem with my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-8S648FX-L with a P4 processor at 3 GHz).
I don't intent to flash BIOS, and I'm not play with it. The reason of the problem are unknow for me.
When I power up the PC, there are only two beeps(first short, and one long with different tone) and the following message appear at the display:
----------------------------------------------------
AWARD BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc
Scanning BIOS Image in hard drive ...
Can not find BIOS Image in hard driver or diskette!
----------------------------------------------------
But the floppy led did not turn on, so, when I tried to load the 8S648FX.F8 BIOS image (with the flash879.exe and autoexec.bat) copy these in floppy disk and turn on the computer, it did not work. I also tried with the BIOS image (and the other files) in the hard drive but it did not work again, so, I think that the bootblock BIOS is corrupted (you think like me ?).
I have read about the solution shorting the high address pin but I don't know if this method could be applied in this case.
Can you help me?.
Thanks you in advance
