  #1  
Jul 6th, 2005
Hi

I have a problem with my barebone system,it was running fine for a couple of months untill one day. I turned it on and a error message came up like this.

BIOS ROM checksum error

Detecting floppy drive A media ...
Drive A error. System halt.

1. I don't have a floppy disc drive in my system
2. i've plugged one in and the same screen comes up but says insert system disk
3. i can't get in the bios screen,this error comes on as soon as you turn the pc on, i have tried all the F numbers and del. but still the same.
4. it has booted up windows a few times after resetting the computer many times, but now wont work at all.
5. i have changed the battery but its still the same.

Can anyone help??

Cheers
Phil

Try resetting CMOS by taking jumper and putting in pins 1-2 to clear and then put back. Jumper located where the batterie is on the motherboard. Then hit f1 to continued. Could be harddrive when bad that why it try to load from floppy check to make you see a harddrive in bios.

Hi

BIOS code itself are damaged more then likely, replaced board can order new rom chip if removable or send board to manafacter they will falsh it at a small cost. Checked powersupply make sure voltage is not to low.
