Abit KT7-Raid BIOS Flash Problem

[halfjag]

I've flashed the BIOS several times in the past, however after flashing to A9 lastnight the system will boot, complain about the checksum error so it restores system defaults then continues to load WinXP.

However, if I try to reboot WinXP hangs. If I reset the system then nothing happens. Blank screen, no disk I/O chatter, no boot.

Further, if I clear the CMOS again it will boot one time with defaults (after checksum message again). But, if I go into BIOS setup and change settings, like enabling USB or loading performance settings, then system will not boot. Clear CMOS again and it will boot once.

Is the BIOS toast? Is there hope? Thanks all!

see if you can flash back or your original bios
maybe the bios file was corrupt or something, maybe you can download it again from another computer and try it once again.



also make sure you downloaded the kt7, not kt7a (i think there was a kt7a...)

I flashed my KX7-333R last night and had a similar problem. It didn't like the 2nd and 3rd boot devices both set to CD. So, I set the 3rd to HD1.
