Hello,

everytime I try to boot with my KK266 I don't even get the chance to get into the BIOS. It tells me the following:

BIOS CHECKSUM Error.
INSERT BOOTDISK OR SYSTEM DISK

I throw in the the disk with awdflash.exe and it reflashes the bios with the newest bios. It reboots and I get the same $hit again.

Anybody else ever encounter that problem. Is my BIOS fried?>

Thanks

I'd assume your bin is bad/corrupted. Have you tried redownloading the latest bios and/or tried a previous bios (or the original - you did back it up didn't you? ;)).

hmm I didn't save the old bios. that kind of sucks I should have saved it. :) LOL anyway I can't really get into my computer since it won't let me pass the BIOS thing.

Now this all must have happened when my video card died. I had shut down the PC one day and well tried to get it to boot up again and my video card was dead. Now I am trying to figure out how/ why its not working.

Good thing that Iwill is recalling all the faulty REV 1.2 Boards :) casue this is one of them :)

I just flashed to kkr0307.bin with the telephone help of the vendor. the flash utility reported a checksum error but we proceeded anyway. PC seems to work fine...

Shut down & pull power plug out...then clear your bios via jumper. Reboot hopefully into bios & reset CPU info, etc. Hold down insert button if necessary while booting...sometimes that will do it also.

I get that error everytime I overclock too high. Clear the CMOS and see what happens. If it doesn't work you may have to flash your BIOS again.

I've also had that error when OCing to high. If I set everything back to the defaults, save that, and reboot, the error goes away. I can then proceed to OC it back up again.
