i have a soyo board that when i boot says " bios rom checksum error" is there a way to reflash the bios without sending the chip back to the manufacture? i have award bios... and what is an autoexcut.bat file and how do i find it or make one? thanks for the help...
 
If the bios is truly corrupt and clearing the bios does not reset it, the only solution is to replace the bios chips.
 
If it still says "BIOS ROM checksum error", then there's still some life left in it. Try the recovery procedures for whatever BIOS you have there (Phoenix/Award/AMI).

But before you do that: BIOS ROM checksum errors can also come from bad RAM. This because the BIOS program is unpacked from ROM to RAM, and the result in RAM is then checksummed. Try a known good DIMM first.

And of course, don't overclock.
 
thanks all really appreciate the help....i have ordered a new bios chip after trying all suggestions..nothing worked... lolol guess i have to spend the 25 bucks for a replacement...oh well ...once again thanks for the assistance really appreciate it.
