I have Intel D845GLAD Mother Board with 256 MB DDR RAM and Intel 1.7GHz P4 Processor. BIOS seems to be dead as no display found on Starting PC.
I have check both RAM and Processor with another Board and both are OK.
From Intel site I came to know that I need a BIOS Recovery file (.BIOS) to recover dead BIOS(in case BIOS is dead). From where I can get this file and/or how to recover this BIOS?

What is the Intel site you reference?

Do you get any beeps? Any lights? Fans? Drives spin? Any monitor signal/ no signal message? Graphics card ok?

Have you tried to clear the CMOS? Battery?

Were things working ok before? Did this just happen?

I have tried with google search with the word "BIOS recovery for D845GLAD" and found some link on intel.com from there I came to know that BIOS may be recovered.

1. I didn't heard any beep sound.
2. All indicators e.g. HDD led, MB led, FDD, CD-R lead are signaling perfectly.
3. CPU fan, HDD Spin, FDD spin all are ok.
4. Get contineous Beep when RAM detached from Board.
5. With a contineous gap it sensing FDD.
6. Moitor indicatior is green (monitor is OK as I have checked the same with External TV-Tuner box)
7. I'm using on board Dispaly
8. I have tried with
a) Bios config Jumper pin 2,3 with and without battery
b) No Bios config Jumper with and without battery

It was Ok before this mishap. Previously its printer Port not working and suddenly it show when starting Windows "Found ECP Printer Port" and system got hanged. From then there is no display when restarting.

Thanks for the Info

I am going to post the BIOS info I've found but would suggest waiting till tomorrow to take BIOS action as one of our Hardware Masters might see something of a less drastic fix. Especially with the printer detail. Printer drivers are very closly associated with grapics drivers in general.

Anyway this is what I found Re: your BIOS:

Can you get a spare video card? Your bios is working if you get beeps when pulling RAM.

You lost your printer port? Its not a stretch to lose your Video as well if you have lost anything.

If you can get a spare Video card it would be very helpful...I really dont want to recoment buying one yet incase its not the sole problem.

Sorry I was out of station for 10 days.
I have SiS and Trident VGA card ready.
One more information, I was using PCI PixelView Internal TV Tuner Card which needs to disable on board display and enabled PCI VGA Diaplay and I had installed Cirrus Logic 5446 driver for Tuner Card.

I have the same problem as descirbed by Satyajit and I also have the same configuration and also tried the above tests.

Please help me if anybody have any idea.
