BIOS Failure

[vietxboi]

When i boot my computer it beeps a couple time and on the screen it shows up
" BIOS ROM checksum error" (i think)
I searched online for a solution and got a bootdisc from SOYO, and when i insert the disc the computer saids to press any key to continue but my keyboard wouldn'
t work so i cannot continue after that, the only way i can think of is extracting it and sending it somewhere for 30 dollars or sumting, but does anyone know an easier and cheaper solution? I'd appreciate any help

Could be a couple of things. You should try clearing the CMOS. To do so, you need to unplug the system from the power, and move a jumper and/or remove the CMOS battery for about 30 seconds. The jumper position can be found in your motherboard manual. It may be labeled on the motherboard as JBAT or CMOS. A dead CMOS battery could also cause that problem.

Thx for the help but it still doesnt work, i even changed the battery, the problem is that when it reads my bootdisc it saids press any key to continue but the keyboard doesnt work, but i know its connected because when the keyboard is not connect it would say "no keyboard present" or something

Does it still beep on boot-up? Can you describe the beeps and the error a little more thoroughly?

It could also be a memory problem. If you have two sticks pull one and see if it helps, and alternate to see if one went bad.

Try reseating the memory, and try the memory in different slots, and taking out 1 stick at a time.

If you have a usb keyboard attached and you reset the cmos it may turn off usb support. At least my board comes defauly with usb disabled, I dunno why, but its a maybe.

yeah i had that problem with my keyboard a while back, try finding a PS/2 port adapter, cuz my usb keyboard didnt get power until my windows login screen came on, so i had to use the adapter to use my keyboard b4 that, hope this helps.
