next day I turn on my computer, it boots as it normally would: the computer gives one beep, and I receive the logo message. But then, I receive this message:Code: [Select]Warning: MAIN BIOS CHECKSUM ERROR!

Retreiving recovery source from Back BIOS.... Done!
Writing BIOS Image..... _____K OKThe part where I added the "_______" contains a number that increasesall the way to 4080K, and then the computer reboots and completely restarts this process.Some extra information:1)My PSU is not the issue as it's a 700W Corsair Brand PSU.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 http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=7984.0 because it worked untouched for the 2-3 months that I have been using it.4)When I first received my computer, I replaced the power supply before its first boot (I'll note again, it has been working untouched for the past 2-3 months, so I don't believe that the PSU replacement was the risk factor)5)The cursor is under "OK" when I am given this error message, but pressing ENTER or any other keys will not do anything.6)I am still able to enter the BIOS menu from the logo screen.7) I have flashed the BIOS from F6 to F7 and the problem still persists. I really don't understand the problem.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 reply and let me know. I have spending a very long time attempting many things to get this to work, and I'd really appreciate any help. « Last Edit: January 14, 2012, 02:21:06 am by Ryantoast » Logged absic 5663 515 Never give up; Never surrender!

Main BIOS Checksum Error Every once in a while, when I try to boot up my rig the boot process takes longer due to what I believe is a bad BIOS. I don't have a picture of the screen or bios checksum remember exactly what it says, but I remember a part of it says "Recovering BIOS from..." That's all I remember. Did I get a motherboard with a faulty BIOS chip? Could this be the reason for my F@H EUE problems? I did verify that my overclock is stable when I built this rig a month ago. Edit: It Happened again! Basically it's a bios checksum error black screen that says the following: Main BIOS Checksum Error............. Retrieving Recovery Source from HPA...............

Other option is to swap your battery and see if it goes away. #5 (permalink) August 10, 2010, 10:05 AM sswilson Mo
