I have the same problem. Before 6 months this problem has appeared to me. I have Asus P2B motherboard from year 1998. I have updated my BIOS four times. This doesn't helps in my case. One friend said to me that i can trie to remove CMOS settings by removing motherboard battery. This was not in my help too. ESCD settings are kept in flash not in CMOS (i think so). Then i find on ASUS site that this problem can occur from bad flash chip or incorrect settings in BIOS. They recommend to reset BIOS settings to setup defaults first. I have tried this. This doesn't work too. I have tried BIOS flash update, and it was working but checksums were incorrect. And at the end i understand that jush my BIOS flash chip is probably partially broken in ESCD part of the chip. I think that this is so because ESCD is much more frequently updated than the whole flash image, and flash memories doesn't have unlimited write cycles. After 1000 writes they became unuseful. For me it is unusedul to change BIOS flash chip. For me it is too expensive to fix old motherboard with no future. I recommend motherboard upgrade if your motherboard is old.
