I need help with bios flah problem
ive have a hp pavilion a1740n with a P5LP-LE motherboard. im running vista. i flashed my bios with upgrade from hp.com. i got a bus-driver error on a blue screen. it told me to turn my computer off.
now when i turn my computer on i get a bios checksum error.
i put in the recovery disk and i get an error message. "no physical memory detected in the correct location for windows boot manager. the system cannot continue.
im so mad at hp support right now and im a+ certified and i wasnt taught anything about flashing bios.

how do i get into bios and set everything back to the original settings? i know how to do it before the start up screen cums up by pressing f8.
if u could elaborate i would so be indebt to u.
the funny thing is im a+certified and i cant do this. i talk to the hp tech people and there answer was that i had to take it to a service center to have it worked on because they had software to fix it that i couldnt buy. i got pissed at them cause the person didnt know what a chipset was. lol

if i knew how to get into bios i know how to figure it out
turn the computer off
remove the power lead from the back
take the side off
remove the cmos battery
move the cmos jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pin 2 and 3 and the back to pins 1 and 2
replace the battery
put the side on
replug in the power lead
boot the computer
there can be 2 solder points you touch with a screwdriver
2 pins you touch with a screwdriver or use a jumper
a cmos clear switch or button
there will be a diagram and instructions in your manual

after flashing you do a cmos reset and then re-optimise once running

i have asked someone to have a look when they come online
my thoughts are they gave you the wrong bios update but i am no expert on bios

sounds right
what model is your motherboard ?
you can buy replacement bios chips already flashed for the version of the bios you were trying to upgrade to
you can find several vendors on ebay >>>>> just search bios chip
or look here

once you tell us what motherboard you have I will check to see which bios chip you have; I would expect Dipp
