My computer had been playing up for a while until one day I turn it on and I get the EZ FLASH utility up. Not sure what was going on so I let it run. It seemed to mess up and the Root Block bit.
So, then I kept getting boot block compatible version ver.017 - Bad BIOS checksum.
I then read that if you swap the bios chips around it might fix it. Sadly having done so I don't even get to the bad bios checksum bit anymore.
I've also tried it without the memory.
Please help 
Setup:
ASUS P5Q Deluxe
Intel Q9300
2x1GB sticks of Corsair Ballistix
