Gigabyte Ga G31m Es2l Warning Main Bios Checksum Error
I shut off my computer, and the next day I turn on my computer, it boots as it normally would: the computer gives one beep, and I receive the logo message. But then, I receive this message: Quote: Warning: MAIN BIOS CHECKSUM ERROR!Retrieving recovery source from HPA..HPA BIOS not available!!Retreiving recovery source from Back BIOS.... Done!Writing BIOS Image..... _____K writing bios image OK The part where I added the "_______" contains a number that increasesall the way to 4080K, and then the computer reboots and completely restarts this process.Some extra information:1)My PSU is not the issue as it's a 700W Corsair Brand PSU. My PC originally came with a 700W PSU with a very bad brand (XtremeGear), so I replaced it with the Corsair the minute I got it (Which was 2-3 months ago XD)2)I've already cleared my CMOS by both using the jumper, and removing the battery for 30 seconds with no success.3)I don't believe it is a wiring issue because it worked untouched for the 2-3 months that I have been using it.4)The cursor is under "OK" when I am given this error message, but pressing ENTER or any other keys will not do anything.5)I am still able to enter the BIOS menu from the logo screen.6) I have Q-Flashed the BIOS from F6 to F7 and the problem still persists.The only thing that I haven't tried is replacing the battery, which I am planning o

Causes of CMOS Checksum Bad Error There are usually three main reasons that a CMOS Checksum Bad Error occurs. They include: 1. CMOS Battery may not be functioning properly. The battery life may have expired. (it's probably this) 2. The user or a virus may have updated the BIOS. 3. The http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/bad-bios-checksum-how-to-fix-it- computer may not have been shut down properly e.g. shutting off the computer’s main power without first shutting down the computer (MS Windows requires the computer to be shut down before the power is shut off).

Reports: · Posted 4 years ago Top semiretired Posts: 1214 This post has been reported. Cmos equals continuous metal oxide semiconductor. It is the small disk battery found on your motherboard. It is usually a cr2032 that can be purchased at a walmart......etc. In a laptop, it could be sheathed in a holder of some type and be more expensive.

The black screen appears when I boot up and reads: 'System BIOS shadowed. Check time and date settings. System CMOS checksum bad--default configuration used.'" Robert says he's tried contacting both Phoenix Technologies (makers of the BIOS) and Emachines, bios checksum error and neither company could help. (The BIOS dates back to 2003, and the system itself is long out of warranty.) Fortunately, this sounds like a pretty easy problem to fix. I don't think the driver-update utility is to blame here, but rather a poorly timed CMOS-battery failure. See, most desktop motherboards have a small battery that supplies power to the BIOS even when the machine is turned off. This battery might last two years or it might last 10, but when it fails, you'll often see an error message like the one above. (Your system will also fail to keep proper time, as the clock is one of the elements powered by that battery.) Most CMOS batteries are standard CR2032 "button" cells, which cost no more than a few bucks at your local drugstore, but check your motherboard documentation just to be safe. Replacing one is usually a two-minute job: pop out the old one, pop in the new one, an
