How can I filx my PC (hewlett Packard AMD athlon hp pavilion 7946)?
Can anyone offer any advice please? My PC is showing the messages "bios rom check sum error", "award boot block bios" and "insert system disc and press enter". Unfortunately I do not have the disc and don't know what to do.
You bios is havig issues You should be able to press F8 or F5 while starting the computer to get into the bios and then select boot from "c: drive". The bios is trying to boot but has lost the "C:drive" in its bootup routine. This is usually due to either the cpu being dropped or moved (hard) and the bios battery is dislodged or the bios chipset is loose or something got spilled in the CPU etc. Try replacing the bios battery they are about $3.00 at batteries plus. Try re seating the memory, bios chipset, all cards in the cpu, all cables INCLUDING the keyboard and mouse. Make SURE the CPU motherboard isn't touching the case ANYWHERE but the little plastic standoff supports it sits on attaching it to the case. ALSO MAKE SURE there are no loose screws touching anything under or on the motherboard or any wires touching either. You'd be suprised how a loose screw, paperclip, loose dime lost inside will trash a computer hope this helps.
