Warning Main Bios Checksum Error Retrieving Recovery Source From Hpa
Motherboards Share Purple18 14 January 2012 08:59:32 Hello, I've bought a gaming computer online that main bios checksum error gigabyte loop contains a GA-970A-D3 Gigabyte motherboard. I've been using it for about 2-3 months now without any problems. I did not update my main bios checksum error gigabyte ga-g31m-es2l BIOS or anything because I expected the website I bought this computer from (cyberpowerpc) to have already taken care of that. One night I shut off my computer, and the next day I turn on my

restarts this process. Some extra information: 1)My PSU is not the issue as it's a 700W Corsair Brand PSU. My PC originally came with a 700W PSU with a very bad brand (XtremeGear), so I replaced it with the Corsair the minute I got it (Which was 2-3 months ago XD) 2)I've already cleared my CMOS by both using the jumper, and removing the battery for 30 seconds with no success. 3)I don't believe it is a wiring issue because it worked untouched for the 2-3 months that I have been using it. 4)The cursor is under "OK" when I am given this error message, but pressing ENTER or any other keys will not do anything. 5)I am still able to enter the BIOS menu from the logo screen. 6) I have Q-Flashed the BIOS from F6 to F7 and the problem still persists. The only thing that I haven't tried is replacing the battery, which I am planning on going over to CVS and buying one tomorrow, but I really don't think the battery is the issue since I've only had this computer for 2-3 months. I've tried to be as detailed as I can in order for someone on the forums to help me, but if there is any other information that you need, please r

The How-To Geek Forums Have Migrated to Discourse How-To Geek Forums / Build Your Own PC {Solved} New build...More than one newer BIOS ver. available (4 posts) Started 7 years ago by Miss-M Latest reply from Miss-M Topic Viewed 2458 times Miss-M Posts: 7 This post http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/new-buildmore-than-one-newer-bios-ver-available has been reported. Hi! I just built my first system, and I've been trying to iron out a couple of wrinkles. One is that sometimes at POST, I get a beep code error. It's a low, long beep and the normal, higher, short beep. Usually, the long beep is before the short one, but not always. Once or twice, I've gotten a long beep, short beep, then a long beep again. I looked in my motherboard manual - Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P - and it says a short beep and long bios checksum beep is a memory or motherboard error. It does not say if the order matters, and it doesn't list them in the other order, so I'm assuming it doesn't matter. I removed my memory and traded slots, making sure they were very well seated. A few reboots later (a couple of days), I got the error again (I didn't always get the error on boot). Yesterday, a new error I had never heard of came up. During boot, the screen was black and it said: WARNING: Main BIOS Checksum Error! bios checksum error Retrieving recovery source from HPA.................... BIOS Auto-Recovering............................. and then it rebooted, and was fine. I looked up the error, and found that flashing to current BIOS version was recommended. I've done this before, on another computer, but it isn't something I like doing, and I do it only with much fear and trembling. :) So I've been reading about properly flashing with Q-Flash, since I've seen that @BIOS isn't recommended. I looked up my motherboard on Gigabyte's site, and found that there are two newer BIOS versions for it. Mine is F4. Now there are both F5 and F7. This is my question: Are the updates in F5 also contained in F7? In other words, do I have to flash with F5 first, and then F7, or can I just do F7? I want to do this right, and not more than necessary. Thank you in advance! Miss M Reports: · Posted 7 years ago Top Miss-M Posts: 7 This post has been reported. UPDATE: Just found in a Q-Flash manual I just located on Gigabyte's site -- it says not to skip too many numbers when flashing the BIOS. I'm guessing it would probably be okay from what they showed to go from F4 to F7, but I think I'll play it "safe" and do F5 first.

The easy way to download and flash is to use the @BIOS utility and install the latest BIOS,which generally contain improvements. Just let it complete-the problems seem to occ
