Gigabyte Ga G31m Es2l Warning Main Bios Checksum Error
I receive this message: Quote:Warning: MAIN BIOS CHECKSUM ERROR! Retrieving recovery source from HPA..HPA BIOS not available!! Retreiving recovery source from Back BIOS.... Done! Writing BIOS Image..... _____K OK The part where I added the "_______" contains a number that increases all 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. My PC originally came with a 700W PSU with a very what is main bios checksum error 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 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.

2014 by Alex Barbos A BIOS checksum error is one of the most common errors you can encounter when you build your own computer, perform a hardware upgrade or attempt to bring https://blog.udemy.com/bios-checksum-error/ back to life a computer that hasn’t been used for a long time. http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/new-buildmore-than-one-newer-bios-ver-available If it sounds like a scenario that’s not very likely to happen to you, think again, as computers became so un-complicated that you don’t need to be working at NASA to know how to upgrade or even build one yourself; in fact, learning how to build your own computer is as bios checksum simple as taking this online course, so the possibility of coming across a BIOS checksum error one day is higher than you think. The error indicates that the BIOS is incorrectly configured or corrupted, preventing the computer from booting normally; unlike operating system errors or software errors that occur after your computer is up and running, a BIOS checksum error will render it inoperable right bios checksum error after you power it on, so it’s no wonder this type of error can seem like something really serious. Fortunately, it is not as scary as it seems, and fixing it is quite easy. BIOS Basics In order to understand what triggers the BIOS checksum error, what the error means and how you can fix it, it is necessary to understand what the BIOS is and how it works. Simply put, the Basic Input/Output System, or BIOS, is a program that checks if all the components necessary for the computer to run are present; if everything is ok, the BIOS gives the processor the necessary instructions on how to proceed and load the operating system. Before the boot code in the BIOS is executed, though, the BIOS data is checked for authenticity by comparing one of its values, known as a checksum, against a value stored in a memory chip called CMOS; if the values match, it means that everything is working correctly, so the boot code is executed and the computer starts normally. However, if the checksums do not match, it means that something interfered with the BIOS, so the
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 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 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! 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 t
