💻 Oldtimer
Ok, well here's the story, this afternoon I saw my pc was lagging for some reason on CoD 2, which it never used to do, so I decreased the visual effects and made the resolution lower, I even brought it down to 640X480 and still lagged, I really never knew what was going on since I didn't change any settings. So I tried overclocking my cpu(which wasn't very clever.....) by increasing the frequency, when I rebooted the pc never went into windows which oddly always happens when i try increasing it, so I set it back.
I then tried changing the CPU performance to "turbo" and then when the pc restarted I got an error message, I rebooted again and it worked fine, but the settings were reset. As nosy and curios as I am I tried setting it to turbo again(I really should stop trying this stuff, I'm such a noob....) then when I restarted I got the same error, I tried rebooting again, the same thing happens over and over and I can't get into my pc, not even to the bios, here's what the error contains:
A beeping sound coming from my box, not from the speakers, and the errors read this:
"Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c) 2000, Award software, Inc.
BIOS ROM checksum error
Detecting floppy drive A media...
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
Well I don't know what disc they are talking about, I tried XP and pressed enter but then they just repeat that capslocked sentence. I would really love if someone could help me with this problem, I'm definetly not changing my bios ever again without any pro nearby, etc.
