Computer specs are in the drop down menu and in my sig.
I was doing some overclocking this morning. I pushed it too far and the system was unstable, so I restarted planning to set my bios settings back to stock. When it restarted the computer began emitting a lound pulsating beep from the motherboard speaker and gave me the following error message:
Award Bootblock BIOS v1.0
BIOS Checksum Error
Detecting floppy drive A media...
Insert system disk and press ENTER.
I tried inserting a bootable floppy with no result. I've set the clear BIOS jumper, pulled the CMOS battery unplugged the power supply from the motherboard, and unplugged all drives, unecessary expansion cards, and peripherals. I also tried RAM from another computer. If I sent for a new BIOS chip from abit do you think it would fix the problem? Any other suggestions?
