I have a ABIT KT7A with the 64 BIOS (latest and greatest... I think)
My issue is.... When I'm in WindowsME and I Restart my PC will hang during shutdown: screen goes black, drives stop spinning but power is still on and the machine doesn't post.
If I press the restart button I will get:
AWARD boot block BIOS
BIOS checksum error
However, if I shutdown my PC for about 30 sec and turn it back on again it boots into Windows fine. The Start->Shutdown option works fine the PC shuts down OK.....
I've tried re-flashing the BIOS and successfully re-flashed the BIOS without any improvement???
Do I have a bad bios chip? If so... how much is a new one????
Thanks!!!
