Been having a problem for a few weeks now that I've been struggling to resolve. After a crash one night it came up with a bad bios checksum error.
I couldn't get the bios recovery tool to work, so started to rma parts.
So far I've rma'ed the power supply, and the motherboard, when i talked to a tech at asus they seemed fairly sure that it was the motherboard still, so they issued me another rma and sent me a shipping label.
Most recently, i was able to get the bios recovery tool to recognize the bios and it erased the old one and reprogrammed it, and then it would still come up with a bad bios checksum error again, as many times as i did it and i'm trying to figure out what the problem is before sending more stuff out. One problem with this is I don't have any spare hardware around or know anyone locally who does.
The hardware in question is an asus p5q pro motherboard, e8400 cpu, 2x2gb gskill ram, ati 4850 and a pcp&c silencer 610psu.
If anyone could give me some ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you~
