Solve : BIOS fried??

Answer»

ecs MB K7VTA3 pro, 512 meg Ram, AMD 2500+ running 98se, 2k and xp pro on seperate partitions

Tried to flash bios in order toimprove FUNCTIONALITY, (successfully done before on various machines). It stalled and on TRYING to reboot I got :
Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Bios Rom checksum error

I could access the floppy after clearing the CMOS but EVERY attemp to reflash the bios (with 720bff06.bin and K7V330D.bin) failed with the message 'unknown flash', although it gave a checksum.
Gratefull for any suggestions to get out of this catch 22!
EdYou'll need to check the BIOS vendor's website for suggestions. OCCASIONALLY you may be able to get away with downgrading the BIOS. Generally though, you've had it, unless you own special equipment that you can use to resolve this issue. Sorry.Another DEAD motherboard from a BIOS upgrade, I'm afraid.
