Bios checksum error, do I need a new motherboard

I was doing a bios update yesterday, but then I accidentally restarted, so then the BIOS was corrupted. I was updating it in Windows. My motherboard is a BIOSTAR 945GZ Micro775. So now, it says BIOS Checksum Error, and System is halted, but before it halts, it checks the floppy drive.

I have not dried using the Floppy drive, since I have no floppy yet, but do you think my motherboard is over? How does the floppy thing work? Do I put the BIOS file inside the floppy and then put it in the drive. Would this automatically fix it?

or...is the motherboard a goner and I need to get a new one?

If it is a goner and you guys think so, then:

I was debating on these 3 micro-atx motherboards. They seem to have fair and easy overclocking abilities, and I needed the RAID and dual memory channels. A lot of the cheapers do not have both RAID and dual channels. My Biostar micro-atx motherboard, does not have RAID and thus, I thought updating BIOS would do it, but I was wrong.. It was because I kept updating it back and forward that got me confused.

Which motherboard would you choose, if the BIOS and that motherboard cannot be fixed. If you have other suggestions, I will hear you out too. I really need them to support Pentium D! Since I do not wish to upgrade the CPU yet. The websites say they do, but newegg.com does not say that. I just want to double check, make sure that it will work with that CPU.

I will be leaving soon, so if I do buy it, I need it to come by Tuesday and fix it that night. Thanks guys!

I did that already. I can't get into Bios as the Bios itself is corrupted. It didn't work at all. I had taken the batter out and the power out for more than just a few seconds, I even tried resetting BIOS, but I guess since it's a corrupted BIOS it wouldn't do much either.

Would you happen to have a link to the AWDFLASH.EXE?? I can't find it on the Biostar website.

Check your floppy cable, it should fit, if not you can get it from a friend or and old computer

Pretty sure you need a nw mobo. Dont ever flash in windows, and especially dont restart during a flash.

That isn't the problem either. If you have the jumper on the wrong 2 pins, it just won't boot. If you have it on the right 2 pins then it will boot.

I did have it on the right 2 pins,so when it boots up, it gives me the Bios Checksum error. I did also try to leave it on the other 2 pins, but it just won't boot like I said. All I can do now is just wait.

i ifnally foudn it it is fixed guys, thanks.

I learned my lesson, lol, always keep a floppy drive and disk in handy!!!!

The best lesson here again, don't update your BIOS unless the update was written to correct a SPECIFIC problem you are having. Otherwise, it is pointless to update your BIOS. Completely, utterly pointless.
