BIOS ROM Checksum error….Help

by valen70 . Updated 16 years, 6 months ago

I am having a problem with a computer that I just repaired. The original problem was the power supply for PC didn’t turn on after electric storm. I replaced power supply for HP Pavillion a1510n an this is what happened:

1. Replaced power supply.

2. Turned PC on got error: logonui.exe instructions at ?0x005f0675? referenced memory could not be written.

3. Ran PC-Doctor, Basic test , short test failed; Error HD521-2w. It seems Hard drive is failing. Optical drive and RAM good.

4. Ran PC recovery and PC was able to boot up normally. Tested for few hours, removed Norton & Installed Avast, Did full antivirus scan at boot up ok.

5. Next day turn on and get the following:

Award Bootblock Bios v1.0
