CMOS Checksum error on power on
"JAD" wrote in
: battery is in backwards or is defective. you did not enter cmos, make appropriate changes, and then save those changes. I have tried this: 1. Enter the CMOS, make appropriate changes, and save, enter CMOS again, and save again (as Suggested by Kony), re-enter CMOS once again, and save again. 2. Short the clear CMOS jumper, then do the above (in no. 1). 3. Change the CMOS battery, then do the above (in no. 2). All this doesn't resolve the problem. As for Ken's suggestion, to load up the default and see anything incorrect, I fail to see what's incorrect with my setup, which deviates from the default only in th following: a. Boot sequence: HDD, floppy, CD-ROM (default: Floppy, HDD, CDROM) b. Limit CPUID length to 3: Disabled (default: enabled) (I'm using Win XP) c. AC97 Audio: Disabled (default: auto) (because I use a soundcard) d. Game port address: Disabled (default: 201) e. PME Event Wakeup: Disabled (default: Enabled) f. Wake on Lan: Disabled (default: Enabled) g. CPU Warning Temp: 70C (default: Disabled) h. CPU Fan Fail Warning: Enabled (default: Disabled) Plz Help TIA |

Try booting without the keyboard or mouse attached(or any USB firewire ect attached) and see if you get the checksum error.(you'll probably get a KB error) |

There are several possible causes of the error, but you will never find out unless you are working with the default BIOS settings. |

Check on a bios update for your board, read the bios release notes to see if anything like this might be addressed. Don't try to flash a new bios unless the system seems (otherwise) stable. |

Check on a bios update for your board, read the bios release notes to see if anything like this might be addressed. Don't try to flash a new bios unless the system seems (otherwise) stable. I agree with Kony and others that are suggesting about reloading the default values. It is possible to have corrupted CMOS memory locations which may not show up when viewing the menu screens. The menu screens only show you a portion of what is stored in the CMOS chip. Reload the factory settings from the menu and boot the box. It might just flush out the problem and then you can go back and make the changes you want. |
