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, 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, and you're done. After that, you'll probably need to venture into the BIOS to reset the clock and double-check other system settings (like boot priority). Just be glad this didn't happen to your laptop. Laptops use CMOS batteries just like desktops, but on most models they're difficult--if not impossible--to rep

What Is Checksum Error
October 2016 When a CMOS Checksum error occurs during system startup, it could mean that the system has been restored to default factory settings. The CMOS contains data related to http://www.pcworld.com/article/240331/troubleshoot_a_bios_or_cmos_checksum_error.html BIOS and may have been reinitialized. It may also be possible to fix the problem by reinitialising BIOS. The problem could also occur due to the depletion of the CMOS battery. If the user cannot locate the pin battery, the help of a computer technician should be taken to prevent damage to the hardware or motherboard. The CMOS checksum http://ccm.net/faq/618-cmos-checksum-error-default-loaded error - defaults loaded should be solved after changing the CMOS battery. Symptoms Solutions: Symptoms When starting your PC, the following error message is displayed: CMOS wrong CMOS MEMORY size WRONG CMOS Checksum Bad CMOS checksum error defaults loaded Warning! CPU has been changed please re-enter cpu settings in the cmos setup and remember to save before quit! You are prompted to: Press F1 to resume Press F2 to load default values and continue This is due to the fact that the CMOS, which contains data related to the BIOS, has been reinitialized and that your PC has been reset to factory settings. Solutions: Reinitializing the BIOS Before making any costly maintenance try: reinitialized the BIOS. Change BIOS battery If the problem persists this may be due to the fact that the battery powering the CMOS (when the computer is shut down it allows the CMOS to store information), is depleted. The CMOS battery is a small pin found on the motherboard; you can refer to the manual provided with your motherboard to change it or hav

Long story short I discovered several issues when I powered up this PC to ready it for a car ride to Florida that is leaving soon. 1. CMOS battery/Checksum error, removed old 2032 battery 2. I also removed a non functioning primary slave Seagate HD 3. Installed new battery 4. On reboot HD was not detected, auto and user defined HD did not work, system kept reverting to 9/1/1996 date. CMOS/Checksum errors continue despite new battery. Also moved jumper on HD to reflect single drive status. 5. Swapped power supply from CD to primary master HD (Western Digital) resulting in HD being detected. Used a different power supply cable for CD resulting in CD but no HD. Removed jumper from HD completely and tried a 3rd source for power to CD which worked, HD and CD detected, continued CMOS/Checksum errors mean Plug and Play enabling in CMOS is not being retained and must be enabled through setup to continue booting. AND with the cover off and the tight fit of swapping things in a desktop I also noticed that the CPU fan is not spinning. I am not sure when this happened, I was feeling heat on my hand all along as I manipulated cables. Good thing the cover is off. This fan is attached to the power cable I have attached to HD which meanes that it used to be piggybacking off CD drive not HD. My motherboard manual (FIC PA-2006) indicates that the CPU
