Hello everyone and Happy New Year
My problem is when I boot up my HP, it will stop at ROM checksum error and locate a media drive, from there the screen just hangs. I cannot enter the BIOS nor boot from another device (i.e. using Ultimate Boot cd).
I've read some threads regarding checksum errors on this site and seems like it could be almost anything from reseting the BIOS, replacing the battery, all the way to removing all unnesessary devices from the computer and playing trial and error. One thing I saw googling this information was reflashing the BIOS. For whatever the reason for this problem, would reflashing be a solution? Or is it something to omit from the troubleshooting equation.
Overall I know there are some people here who have come across this problem before. I would like their experience in this matter.
Thank you for the help.
My specs are:
HP Pavilion m7650n
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo with Viiv technology
GPU: Intel graphics media accelerator 3000
RAM: 2Gigs
HDD: 320Gigs
