DFI K6XV3/+66 revBB+ Boot Problem

Post by jrbach00 »

It's OK to laugh at this one, I've been laughing at myself for over a month about it and for not asking sooner...<br><br>I'm laughing, because this is actually my first ATX mobo...<br>Every time I boot, I get this message and the audible Eh-Uh:<br>Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0<br>BIOS ROM checksum error<br>Detecting floppy drive A media...<br>INSERT YOUR DAMN SYS-DISK DUMMY & Press SOMETHING!<br><br>I can warmboot and get the same message or power-down and get it on coldboot...or it will go right into Win'98 SE fast! I have NO problems once it takes, but I swear...I DO NOT know why it won't boot from cold...it appears to have the latest BIOS as received...<br><br>Any Ideas??? It's got me laughing and Freaking at the same time! I thought I saw something on this a long time ago, but I could NOT find it anywhere using searches...TIA!! <p></p><i></i>

OK, we discussed this in the chat room with jrbach00 this morning, and came up with a couple of things to try...<br><br>1)Changing boot order from a:c: to c:a: and see if problem would go away<br><br>2) Clearing the CMOS and see if that would fix it<br><br>3) Flashing the BIOS<br><br>We haven't heard back yet to see what worked. Let us know! <p>My sig<br><embed src="http://k6plus.50megs.com/tjstuff/toastsig2.swf" width=420 height=120></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub70.ezboard.com/umrtoastz.show ... uage=EN>Mr Toastz</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC=http://www.ezboard.com/ezgfx/gicons/black_ball.gif BORDER=0> at: 8/4/01 10:55:22 pm<br></i>

OK...finally had a chance to slap it around...No Luck!<br><br>1) Pretty much as I thought, this had zero affect.<br>2) This was worth a try, but had zero affect.<br>3) Was betting on this one...Zero...Nada...Crapppp!<br><br>Still takes at least 2 coldboots and warmboots for it to take, otherwise, I receive that friggin message!<br><br>I was thinking of backing off to the prior BIOS, but I don't have it here...off to look for it...BTW, DFI's site has that worm-hack..."hacked by the chinese"...sadly enough, it's on the BIOS download page...Arrrrrggggghhhh!!!! <p></p><i></i>

Are you saying that DFI has got the CodeRed virus?<br><br>Jeez...some shithead admin needs to get the boot there dont they. The freakin patch has been free on MS for how long now?? Dumbass admin there<br><br>As for your problem, not sure. Try some bios tweaks such as setting for slow bootup, etc. <p></p><i></i>
