Ax1200 u1711a Hello friends. I've had this CPU for a while. I was getting on as usual, and It wouldn't start up. Sometimes it does start up, but it just says insert boot cd or floppy. If it was a windows vista, why would it even ask for a floppy? It goes to a boot screen, but thats about it. Help?

Is the new motherboard the same model with the one you have replaced. If so, there should have no problem on it. If it is different model, then you have to reconfigure the software installed such as the driver. your new motherboard surely has the CD included where the necessary software should be installed. But, the problem is that you cannot get to the WindowsXP screen..

Windows XP CD is also bootable.. Now in the bios setup there is a portion there that tells about on how to boot whether in drive a, hard disk or cd. Choose CD and inser the bootable Windows XP. In that way you should be able to get to the XP screen. Of course, you have to restart it to make the necessary changes but before that make sure you have saved the changes youve made to the bios setup.

Now if youre able to go to the main screen, uninstall software that are with your old motherboard and install the new one.

Hope to solve your problem.

Make sure the cmos jumper is plugged in. Turn off your pc, unplug the power source. Remove the cmos battery for 30 seconds then put it back. Reboot your pc. Give us feedback! Hope that helps :-)

Hi terry304, your current trouble is within windows not your motherboard. If you want to repair your windows than go to the link below & read the Microsoft page. They have a program that can help repair your window. See the link provided;

(Though you'll do most of the work).
Here are a few replacement boards for your socket 939 CPU & MB;

Personally, I do not buy from EBay when it comes to MB's. The risk is too high. I also run a socket 939.

Good luck Terry!
Thank you for using fixya.

Smithbrother is right...

the file you need is here:

You'll have to get yourself a BIOS flash utility. There are some simple, good boot disks for that here: http://www.bootdisk.com/

then you'll need to boot to that disk (not into Windows), and run the flash utility provided at the previous link. Once your BIOS has updated itself, you should be good to go.

This is a known issue with early BIOS revisions of your board.

SOURCE: bad bios checksum

You need to go to the website of whoever made the motherboard and get the BIOS flash utility and the BIOS binary file to update your BIOS. Make sure you get the right one, as using the wrong one can render your motherboard worthless. The BIOS file has to be the exact match. There is no such thing as close in this situation.
If you are not sure of the exact make and model, get te free Belarc Advisor from http://www.belarc.com
The BIOS chip holds information about your motherboard hardware. It is reprogrammable. It uses what is known electrically erasable read only memory. This is also called Flash memory. Reprogramming is called flashing. When you flash the BIOS, all data is erased, then the new data is written. The flash utility will most likely allow you to save the old contents, but you might have an extremely tough time recovering from an improper flash. You'll also probably need a couple of floppy disks, one of which may have to be bootable. If you need a bootable floppy disk, you can get an image file from http://www.bootdisk.com.
