want to upgrade my bios ... error?

Post by Thor Walez »

ASUS A7V Bios 1005A want to upgrade to 1005C then it gives me an error:
"Boot Block error: Checksum differs 83A7" or s.th. like that ... may I upgrade or not.
I do not want to change my Bios in the Compshop! (?)
S.O.S. help me

Cheers,

Umm, what kind of Boot disk are you using??

You need a real boot disk..go to www.bootdisk.com

I used to get those errors when I used the winme bootdisk...

and on your A7V, use the 1002a-A7V133 BIOS...if you have good RAM, you can make the timings very aggressive and get a boast in mem scores....as well as a 2-3 temp drop :)

I'm using that BIOS now on my A7V
Fdisk?
It only take me one beer to get drunk...just not sure if it's the ninth or tenth one

make sure you are using the DOS filename for you bios upgrade, it may differ from the filename you downloaded. also if your download is an .exe you'll need to extract the .bin first. the .bin & your flash utility should work fine on ME bootdisk (ME doesn't include 386emm, etc. on bootdisk). also remember to clear CMOS.
