Hello,
I built a new build (Octobers Econobox) about a month or two ago and everything was running fine. Today it seems to have died. My mobo is a GA-965P-S3.
My girlfriend was on it and she said she got a blue screen and then everything went black with a "checksum error". Everytime I start it, I get one beep, everthing powers up ok and the monitor goes into standby mode, and nothing else happens.
Is my mobo fried?
At one point it went to a screen that said "AWARD BIOS V1.0 Scanning bios image in harddrive...." and then nothing else happened after that. I can't even get that screen to come up any more...I've unconnected everything and reconnected, etc. but it seems like it's totally dead.
Is my BIOS corrupted and if so how could it have happened? I'm not sure if this has anything to do with this but I was hearing a clicking noise this week...it almost sounded like something was "switching" inside...I don't know if this has anything to do with this or not....
Do I need a totally new mother board? Is there any way to fix?
Help!
Thanks
