Fragged BIOS

[sean]

Hey folks,

The heat was getting to one of my Shuttles today so I fired up XPC Tools with the intention of dropping the CPU voltage a wee bit. Well, I've become accustomed to Vcores topping out at around 1.5V and forgetting this archaic Athlon needs a good 1.8 to operate, I made a royal **** of the job and locked up the PC


I've just rebooted it to be greeted with:

Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0

BIOS ROM checksum error

Detecting floppy drive A media... Drive A error. System Halt

So I've managed to trash the BIOS somehow. My question to the experts is: Should I go dig out a floppy disk drive or is it really fragged? A CPU crash shouldn't be able to wreck the BIOS ROM, right?


Cheers,

Sean
