I upgraded last night. Went from and Abit BX6Rev2 to KT7A-Raid. I have the MB, Vid, HDD, Floppy, and DVD-Rom installed. The computer boots up, I get the first screen where it supposed to check the RAM and cpu speed, but instead it gives me:

BIOS ROM CHECK SUM ERROR

DETECTING FLOPPY DRIVE A MEDIA
DRIVE MEDIA IS 1.44MB

From there I put in the Driver disk that came with the MB and nothing, I get Non-Sytem disk. Help, what should I do? This is the first time I have ever put in a MB and don't know where to go from here.

Press delete, enter bios and "Load Optimized Defaults". Then save and exit.

If this fails, reset the CMOS using the jumper near the battery (or pull the battery out). Make sure the computer is fully disconnected from the mains when you do this.

Now the message should have disappeared and you can re-enter bios and choose your settings.

Should you still get problems, download the latest bios for you motherboard and follow the flash procedure exactly. The bios code might be corrupt and nead updating.

Finally, if this fails, then the CMOS battery or chip might need replacing.

Will this work? This isn't a CMOS ROM check sume error, it is a BIOS ROM check sum error. I don't even get an option to go into the bios.
