Shutting down the system properly during its next boot should fix this problem. Try a bootable floppy or CD with the BIOS files and the AFUDOS program on it. Probably the restore program is looking for a bootable media. When you get the command prompt, run AFUDOS following the instruction from the manual.
key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup menu opens. Then press F10 to open the Computer Setup program. After replacing the battery, restart the computer to see if the error continues.
Replacing Your Bios Logo
CMOS batteries don’t last a lifetime, and after a few years, they don’t provide enough voltage to boot the BIOS, and the problem arises. There are not many reasons for this error, and they are very relevant to the BIOS itself. However, two different causes can still be identified, and all troubleshooting methods are based on them. Sometimes, if the computer does not power down properly, the saved number might not match the one generated during a system restart.
key if your computer was built before 2006 (XP or earlier). The error that appears depends on the type of BIOS used. Any of these error conditions indicate that a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) test failed.
Way 2: Reset The Basic Input/output System (Bios)
- If you choose to download.dll files use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.
- Makes me wonder if someone repackaged it but didn’t check the specs closely enough.
- Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase.
- Good catch on the RAM voltages, that’s pretty unusual the sticks wouldn’t match the packaging.
- It runs at 1.35v when the XMP profile is used.
- Want to save 5 to 10% on your next EVGA purchase?
Pressing F1 does not resolve the issue either, and the reboot error reappears. If this issue has been troubling you, read this article to find a fix. Follow the instructions of your motherboard’s manufacturer on how to flash the BIOS.
See the BIOS and CMOS definitions for further information and related links. If you cannot enter the CMOS setup, or the computer no longer keeps its BIOS values, the BIOS update may be corrupt. In this case, we recommend updating the BIOS again or reverting to an earlier version. If you can do it, then you may boot into Advanced Startup Options and perform the automatic repair. The Automatic Repair feature can detect and fix the issues that prevent the computer from starting normally.
(There is still ATA133.ROM in there, which allows me to use it as normal IDE controller). If you have an on-board network card, there’s a chance that boot ROM is included in your BIOS.
Only obtain the BIOS update from the computer manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer. Also, do not shut off or reboot the computer until the BIOS instructs you to do so. Boot the computer to the black screen with the Checksum error. Every attempt you make to restart your system, fails.
You can also remove other parts of BIOS this way, however you will disable those hardware components by doing it. I removed RAID133.ROM from my BIOS, because I don’t use the Promise controller as RAID.
