Aw crap. I think the fact that the USB thing worked was just a coincidence; my P5N stalled again, except the USB thing won't work now

Bios Rom checksum error?
Yesterday, I booted up my pc and it came up with my bios version and said "bios rom checksum error". I don't know what to do. I tried reseting my cmos, but that didn't change anything. I disconnected my hard drives, thinking that the fact that I just added another might have caused it, but nothing changed. When I looked it up and on some forums, people had to flash their bios. How much is involved in doing that? Will that fix the problem? Thanks in advance for any help at all, I'm really desperate and need to get this computer running as soon as possible.

Did you try resetting via the jumper?

I cleared the cmos by using the jumper, but it still didn't post or anything. It still has that error message and says it's checking the drives. AAHH!!

How did you jumper-clear the CMOS? Also, you might wanna try booting with the original Asus CD in the drive, if you still have that...

I already tried booting with the original ASUS cd in, it said it flashed it but nothing changed when I rebooted it. I'll try flashing it from a flashdrive.....hopefully it'll work.

I can't figure out how to flash the bios by using a flashdrive. I've tried to look it up, but I can't find anything. I downloaded my previous version (608) because it had never given me trouble before. I put it on my flashdrive and booted the pc, but it didn't do anything different. Do I need a program or something else to make this work?

Heres a link to the utility: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...reg_R1002_USEN Then go to Asus's website, and download "Phoenix Award BIOS flash tool version 1.20". It will be a zip file with AWDFLASH.exe inside. Copy this to your flash drive once it has been formatted with the HP utility. Then copy your bios. You now can boot off of it and run awdflash.exe You may want to check your manual for more information before doing it. gl
