BIOS Rom checksum error

keyboard err or no keyboard present

IDE ATAPI device detection...

Found CDROM tries to boot from the pass it...

can anyone tell if this can be fixed if it can and you know I would appreciate it a lot

Oh and I got a windows vista disc to see if it downloads it, but just on the same screen

The "boot block" needs to load the rest of the BIOS of a memory chip. Since it doesn't, either the battery on the motherboard (a piece the size of a $0.25 coin silver) has failed, either the content of the memory chip cannot be read.

Replacing the battery is fairly easy.
First of all, notice the writing on the top of the battery.
You will need to put the new battery into the socket,
with similar writing facing face up into the socket.
Look on the edge of this battery to a small 'finger' which holds the battery in its socket. Push this "finger" of the Center, and the battery must be able to be raised.
Remove the accumulator at any computer store and get a replacement.
Insert it, and then try again.

If the problem persists, then either he must:
* Replace the motherboard
* replace this chip memory (which can be soldered on the motherboard at all times).
* replace the computer, taking the disc drive of the old computer and its connection as a 'slave' the drive in the new computer.
* take your computer to an expert technician.

The attempt to boot from the CDROM is a process "emergency", to use when you have a specially created CD disc that contains a copy of the software to load into the memory of the BIOS chip. It is not a 'normal' start (to load the Vista disc).

  • Desktop M8000 giving Bios Rom Checksum Error

    Hello

    My brother-in-law gave me their old tower to see if I could not going again for their children to use, the decent machine actually, he had 2 internal hard drives in it and he said it was more than ever and lock up often.

    The pc don't was not start (sitting at an empty screen) even if it had worked before, so the first thing I did was to remove the two hard drives and their hung outside for my main pc, he said, I wanted to see if they were healthy and if they had the virus on them, etc.

    Health check, past, defragmented both drives them (OMG they were horrible) and on the storage disk ran a virus scan and spyware scan (zero problems) spybot seek and destroy and completely updated avast updated etc.

    On the main C drive, I did Defrag, ran the spybot captured about 10 things mostly of cookies, nothing horrible, then ran avast, it is 17 things in temporary files, remove hit at the end of the scan, re ran the scans and it came out clean.

    Then the two drives are checked as work/healthy, defragmented, virus and spyware cleaning, put it back in the system and I still get the screen white, but maybe 1 out of 10 times I get

    Cuz at this point, I checked the ram, hd, battery changed, makes the integrated reset cmos jumper option, but I don't always get anywhere then I suppose that its cpu or motherboard at this stage.

    Hello FTLOSM, reads that you list are fairly normal. A difference of one or two points on the readings should not be a problem, especially if the power supply is connected and powered. The 12 volt rails are mainly used for engines on the disks, so a small difference in the actual 12 volts would be well within tolerances. If 3.3 volts reading falls below 3 volts, then I'd be concerned.

    I would tend to think that the motherboard is the culprit, since it is rare that a processor will fail under normal circumstances.

    It usually takes a voltage spike to get a processor.

    I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the motherboard for help on how to reset the bios.

    Note: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hoping that this forum could give me an idea.

    Hello

    PXE error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
    Why it does not start from the HARD drive but LAN switches?
    I think the HARD drive is defect.
    Perhaps its also not recognized in BIOS.

    Switch on and press F2. This allows you to access the BIOS where you could check if the HARD drive is recognized. I guess it must be mentioned on the first page.
    If it s not there, then it means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

    I assume that the warranty is still valid; Therefore, you should get in touch with Toshiba ASP in your country for replacement.

  • Error - NTLDR missing Windows XP Home computer does not start.

    Original title: XP-based computer does not start.

    XP Home does not start after I uninstalled a large file of Samsung mobile phone. I get a missing NTLDR error message and have had a System32 error as well, but there is no DOS prompt that would allow me to access anything whatsoever. Another problem is that I lost my installation CD. I initially bought this Dell PC nine over 6 years ago, so can provide identification details, if necessary program. Could someone tell me how I can make a recovery CD please? (No floppy drive not installed in the PC). To further complicate things (Yes, I know - I created many more problems that we all need), I have to keep my files on the hard disk, so cannot do a complete reformat, unless someone can tell how to save them somehow. My BACK skills could be summed up as "plodder inexperienced but determined!

    The file might be missing or it could just be that XP can't find it if your file system has somehow got corrupted.

    As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    System32 error, you see, is what exactly?

    Depends on a few factors, there could be another copy of the file NTLDR in other places on your system, but you have to start on something to find out whether there is or not.

    After answering the above questions, I begin to make a CD from Recovery Console bootable XP by running a chkdsk/r, first on your HARD drive and then see what is left to do.

    Here's how:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
