I am having issues with my system ( see thread Asrock Z87 pro4 is it dying ?? ) . As a last resort I am going to change the bios chip. I have ordered the appropriate chip from Bios depot on ebay. If I carefully remove the cmos battery , then the bios chip which appears to be socketed onto the board rather than soldered and then insert the new bios chip from Bios depot, then replace the cmos battery. What permanent damage can I do to the board ? It seems to me that if it doesn't work I should be able to reverse the process and end up back where I am now. Am I wrong in this assumption ? Would this be the correct sequence to follow or should I go about it differently ? Should I remove the PCIE card and use onboard video when I give this a go ? I have an Asrock Z87 pro4 board with an i5 4670 cpu , 2x4gb corsair DDR3 and a Geforce GTX 1060 3gb running Win10 64bit on a Kingston 120gb SSD with storage on 2 x WDC 500gb drives.
Many thanks
