The "flash check error address 0h" is a notorious hurdle for anyone using the EZP2019 programmer to unbrick a motherboard or flash a BIOS . This specific error usually signals a verification failure

Double-check the exact part number printed on the chip (e.g., W25Q64FV vs W25Q64FVSSIG).
For 1.8V chips: You must use an external 1.8V adapter board (sold separately) with the EZP2019. The default programmer outputs 3.3V/5V and will fail at 0h on low-voltage chips.

What I’m using:

Short the "Hold" pin: Some chips have a HOLD pin (Pin 7 on SOIC8). If motherboard pull-ups are weak, this pin can float. Temporarily connect a 10kΩ resistor from Pin 7 to VCC (Pin 8) to pull it high.
Isolate the board: Remove the motherboard's CMOS battery and AC power. Then, short the CMOS reset jumper for 10 seconds. This tri-states (disables) the Southbridge, reducing bus contention.
Desolder as last resort: If all else fails, carefully desolder the chip from the board. Programming a loose chip almost always succeeds. If it succeeds on a loose chip but fails on the board, the motherboard is actively interfering.
