That does sound like your ROM or circuitry is hosed. Try burning it again
to 1008 or 1007and then LOAD DEFAULTS first and then configure as you like.

I just spent hours in updating the bios in my P4P800DX board..but
failed...and with terrible experience.

a few days ago i flashed successfully under dos from 1006 to 1007, using
afudos.
I could overclock, adjust the setting of ram, performance mode etc.
without
any problem.

tonite i downloaded the 1008 bios, followed the instructions..but
failed...
after i flashed..it seemed ok..then i went to bios..changed the
settings...

but then...after saving & rebooted, it said bios checksum bad..bios
recovery
then the pc kept searching for floppy & cd rom for bios rom.

then i changed back to old bios 1007, but the problem is, i can't make any
adjustment in bios to overclock, the setting of ram, performance mode
everytime i made such change, after saving the bios, the pc showed again:

bios checksum bad...bios recovery

then looked for floppy & cd-rom again!!!!

Pl. help!!

I tried clear the RTC and removed battery, but still the same problem.

Can anyone help!!???
