    I cant believe this! I've changed the cmos battery, the bios chip, tried to flash the BIOS but it failed and I still get the same message! :eek:

    I would have considered that but luckily I have contact with a guy who owns a small BIOS chip business. He has agreed to make me a chip for my board with the latest BIOS for $15 :)

    Thanks - both of you - it is a crashfree BIOS :) I've made 3 floppy disks, plain boot diskette, boot diskette and bios and flashing utility, and one with just the bios and the utility. I had to do this on my friends computer so when I get hold of the floppy drive I can start straight away...
