Hi...im new at this forum... And I have found a little bit of help in this post: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/82485 But I can't reply to it, because...you know... I have the same problem, and my motherboard is an ECS L4S8A2... My question is...should I try the SAME like iraj did? /Rechain
Didnt see the Subject... Bios Checksum Error Boot Block Error This could be due to a hardware failure, incompatible hardware, or a BIOS Failure. Have you added any hardware recently? Best option is try Flashing the Bios. To me this should be your motherboard http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/l4s8a2.html Download the 1.0c Update and use the instructions http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/flashAward.html That should help you. If you have any questions, just ask and ill try and help. Regards CoZZa _X_X_X_X_X_[small][/small]
Hi again... I have first read your answer today... And my computer OS is: Microsoft Windows XP This problem startede with my graphiccard... The driver to my monitor (card) nv4_disp.dll (I think I spell rigth) Not have its so good...everytime (beforce bootblock) The computer sometimes give me the blue screen if I go into a game... And in the game there was lines out from the cars (vice city) and heads on people in other games... Someones tell me to update it on Windows Update. I go to Windows Update...install the update to my Nvidia Card...and restart...BANG! BootBlock...WTF? My graphiccard is a: Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200 with 8xAGP. Its maybe not help on this..but I have to write it... But I try that with flasing the bios? But it not support XP? /Rechain
Sounds like the Graphics card could be faulty. Try taking out the graphics card and putting it in again. Windows Update Drivers arnt any good, i dont bother with them Go to the Nvidia site and download updated drivers. Unintall the old drivers - http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp Right Click My Computer,- > Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Display adapter (Right Click and go Uninstall) Dont restart. Install the new drivers and then restart the comptuer. Do you still get that error? Sounds more like a card, then Driver problem though... Regards CoZZa
Try restting the BIOS battery and/or (preferably OR first), using some form of "fail-safe BIOS settings" On the contrary, if I understand you right, the windows drivers are quite good -- they dont have much performance value but they certainly have stability and troubleshooting value ... i'd stilll use the nvidia drivers though if the video card isnt messed up, is it possible the RAM is slightly scrambled?
UPDATE!!!! IT WORK NOW! Thx...I found the files..doh... And I flash the bios...and XP is working now. Now I try to fix the graphiccard... ------------------------------------- My driver was the latest from Nvidia.com (56.72) I have to getting trough the BootBlock beforce I can reinstall the drivers...but thx for your reply's... Is that with the flasing bios... I have WindowsXP...is that supportet OS or what? How do I make that floppy disk to work in DOS. And IM from denmark...but my keyboard settings is set to UK / English or...yes...I try... But how do I make a bootdisk with that flasing there, to work in DOS. How to make it in WindowsXP? Where can I download the other files? I have downloadet Flash Utility V8.22A awd822a.exe(38.2K)... But on the pictures there are 3 other files? Where can I get them? I have copied the awd822a.exe to the disk now... /Rechain
BIOS and OS are two different worlds. It will work with XP. From the manufacturer's website i would presume. They also have detailed instructions (usually) on how to get going
You didnt read my post "edit" I write this: UPDATE!!!! IT WORK NOW! Thx...I found the files..doh... And I flash the bios...and XP is working now. Now I try to fix the graphiccard... ------------------ But thx...anyway...I have uinstall the drivers to the card, and install the same version again. But it still doing that with the lines out of...you know... What else can I do now? I can try again, or...?!? /Rechain
"IT" wasnt exactly clear ... Dont run it with full settings, start clocking crap down like for instance, AGP8x.
