BIOS crashing

[sohaibshtf]

i have an old pc which is now my father is using, from sometime he's complaining that system crashes very frequently and then it restarts and doesn't boot up, i took a look at it found that bios is crashing all the time, so i have to move jumper clear bios and then it will restart, i also updated the bios from asus site(mobo is Asus P8H61 MLX 3 R2.0), but it doesn't do any good, so is there any solution for this

Sounds like his EPROM is failing.

 

There is no fix to this other than a new MoBo or computer.

Hello, it seems that your BIOS chip may be the problem if the jumper didn't solve anything. My recommendation is getting a new motherboard, while i'm no programmer, i do not think there is anything you can do at this point apart from either replacing the BIOS chip (near impossible with the improper tools) , or getting a new motherboard, which would be cheap, since its an older system.

All the best,

a bios doesn't "crash" unless theres a hardware problem

what else is faulty i wonder, first i thought its the hard drive because when i restart pc without clearing bios it says, missing operating system, but then i plug the hard drive into my new pc and it works just fine

yes i guess if its BIOS only then i have to change the motherboard
