Default Flash BIOS update failed

K9VGM-V VT8237A Chipset
I was doing a live update from MSI site, to upgrade my bios/motherboard drivers ect because i just updated my cpu/memory and needed more updated drives for all the features.

The BIOS update seems to have gone wrong and now when i start the PC i get.


Award Bootblock BIOS V1.0

BIOS ROM runcheck error
Detecting floppy drive A media...
INSERT SYSTEM DISC AND PUSH ENTER

I have tried several bootdiscs but cant seem to find one that works, i have the latest BIOS downloaded on another (this) pc but need a disc sorted to fix my BIOS problems. I tried reseting the CMOS to default but that didn't help.

Welcome to PC Help Forum

It's not good news I'm afraid...the BIOS Rom error, this means that your BIOS ROM (the actual chip on the motherboard) is faulty. Usually, you will just replace the motherboard. However, BIOS chips are available for those willing to pay the price and wanting the task of replacing them.

If the board is still under warranty, you could try approaching MSI - explain the situation - and see if they will replace the motherboard for you...
