Bad bios update
« on: 21-March-12, 19:24:01 »

MotherBoard: MSI 945GZM3

Hi all!
I tell them my problem, upgrade the bios via usb, but to my dismay when restarted I get "bad checksum error", turning the machine and re-ignite it turns on, but I not have video, the monitor is flashing.
Later I realized that the end he had updated BIOS was another motherboard and not mine ... so we started looking like being able to recover the BIOS. The type of the motherboard BIOS is AMI BIOS, so I proceeded to format a floppy disk and save the file in the ROM BIOS, renaming it as AMIBOOT.ROM up here all right, I turn on the pc and I am waiting on vain I "lift" the disk, since there appears to turn on the drive, to see this record a CD-ROM with the same file and neither rises ... forcing the probe began with the ctrl + home but nothing ..
I wonder if there is any combination of keys for me to get up the floppy disk or in any way possible to recover it before buying another motherboard ..

Sorry my English is not good
From already thank you very much :)

That is a simple Cmos error, you must have had video at the first start after the flash.
Try clearing the Cmos and see if you get the message again.
