I have had some problems with my Asus A8V Deluxe. It seemed to take too
long anytime I went to print anything. So in an effort to try updating the
BIOS, which had never been upgraded since installed, I upgraded the BIOS to
Rev 1014 from 1008....now on boot up, I get the message:
"CMOS Checksum Bad" and that's as far as we go. I tried going back to BIOS
rev 1011 and then 1008, and still get the same message...anyone with
suggestions seriously appreciated...I'm in trouble without my computer
working.

Thanks in advance

I would clear the BIOS as per the manual and reload your 1014 via a DOS
boot floppy.

ISTR problems with BIOS update on this MB last year but can't remember
when.

Doesn't it also say to run setup which will then take care of the checksum
when you exit it.
