Bios blank on BH6

[devilofkimon]

I was overclocking my cel2 566 on my BH6 and when I tried to get to 932 at 1.70 the computer froze when booting. When I restarted it, there was a bios checksum error. I used a boot disk and tried to flash the bios but after the flashing program had deleted the bios it said there was an error and couldn't write back onto it. Now, I just get a black screen when starting the system. Is the bios chip itself done (I've never heard of this) or can I somehow flash it again. Do I need a new chip? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a really sticky process to fix it if the chip is really blank. You would risk killing another chip/ board. I would call Abit and get another for about 25$ or 30$. I did it once with another brand and got it working again, but pretty scary.

BH6's are notorious for flaky BIOS eproms.

I had some BH6 BIOS misadventures (inexplicably failed flash, then checksum error, then nothing) and had to get a new BIOS chip. It cost me $20 shipped from http://www.compucheap.com. You can e-mail them and see if they have any chips left in stock or if they can get you another one.

The chip is easy to replace.
