hi,
my ax63 motherboard's bios is very problematic. it's experiencing "checksum error" , and i was not able to boot from floppy drive.
i read the FAQ's section and i saw that i can use an ISA multi I/O card to boot the floppy..
but i think there's a conflict with the built in fdc and the ISA Cards FDC.
what can i do????
please help
God Bless

Bios ROM Checksum Error or CMOS Checksum Error ?
The first would be some hardware malfunction, typical candidate is RAM, the latter usually means a dying battery.

Question unanswered:
Bios ROM Checksum Error or CMOS Checksum Error ?
Please specify the full error message, if it's a Bios ROM Checksum error your system should not boot but ask for a floppy to reflash or similar. If your Bios is working just normal but you get a Buios checksum error if it tries to boot it may also be a Virus/infection.
A Bios ROM Checksum error may not only be cause by memory, it may also the CPU (damaged Cache) or the motherboard (leaking capacitors, damaged memory controller)

hi,
it's Bios ROM Checksum Error. yes it asked for a floppy , but when i inserted a bootable floppy, it will read for just a second or two, but it wont continue to give me a command prompt. it's stuck.
then i followed the wimbios' FAQ # 27, "use a ISA multi IO card", still no luck coz i think it's experiencing conflict with the Motherboard's FDC.
please advice.. thanks
God Bless
