BIOS ROM chip!

[theMANx2]

Hi guys

Hope this is the right section for this seeing it is an ABIT/Intel issue (AW8 MAX)!

I recently have got this issue with my 2nd PC: 'BIOS ROM CHECKSUM ERROR'
I have googled it and it comes down to maybe two things, either my chip/bios files are faulty or may motherboard is dead.

So i'd like to replace the BIOS ROM chip first to rule out that my mobo isn't dead! But i can't find a place online in the UK to buy a new BIOS ROM chip.

Do you guys know of any online stores i can buy this chip from?

Any help much appreciated...

Thanx

BIOS ROM checksum error may not be as bad as you think it is.
Remove CMOS battery, and clear CMOS overnight.


Additionally, some chipsets have a protection feature that allows you to use a floppy to reflash the BIOS even if there is a checksum error.
