Ok, a few weeks ago, my BIOS chip died, so I ordered a new one. I have a ASUS P4S533 motherboard (it's like 1 1/2 years old). I started the comp, everything worked, except for the CD and DVD ROMS. Turns out, before I found out it was the BIOS that was dead, I had taken it to a computer store to have it looked at. Without even asking if they could start work on it, they switched a bunch of wires around and never pulgged the power cords back into the CD drives but they DID plug in the floppy, HD, and MB (with the 4 pin rectangular connectors). So I tried to plug them back in. I switched them around to try and get them all to fit into the 2 CD drives, the floppy, the HD, and the MB and couldn't. I then called ASUS and they said that the motherboard had something like EASY power or something (Im not sure) and that I didn't need to have the 4 pin plugged into the MB. So i unplugged it and reset the RAM just incase. I started the comp and got a message that read SMART predicts that a failure is imminent blah blah blah. Now that didnt show up before i switch the wires. Could that be the cause? Should I just hit "f1" and continue? or should I do something else? I WAS fetting a different error before that. it read "failed to write ESCD." So im not really sure what to do here. I've got alot of important crap on there.
