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 f

I really don't understand the problem.The only thing that I haven't tried is replacing the battery, which I am planning on going over to CVS and buying one tomorrow, but I really don't think the battery is the issue since I've only had this computer for 2-3 months.I've tried to be as detailed as I can in order for someone on the forums to help me, but if there is any other information that you need, please reply and let me know. I have spending a very long time attempting many things to get this to work, and I'd really appreciate any help. « Last Edit: January 14, 2012, 02:21:06 am by Ryantoast » Logged abs
2014 by Alex Barbos A BIOS checksum error is one of the most common errors you can encounter when you build your own computer, perform a hardware upgrade or attempt to bring back to life a computer that hasn’t been used for a long time. If it sounds https://blog.udemy.com/bios-checksum-error/ like a scenario that’s not very likely to happen to you, think again, as computers became http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/cmos-checksum-error-defaults-loaded.38000/ so un-complicated that you don’t need to be working at NASA to know how to upgrade or even build one yourself; in fact, learning how to build your own computer is as simple as taking this online course, so the possibility of coming across a BIOS checksum error one day is higher than you think. The error indicates that the BIOS is incorrectly configured checksum error or corrupted, preventing the computer from booting normally; unlike operating system errors or software errors that occur after your computer is up and running, a BIOS checksum error will render it inoperable right after you power it on, so it’s no wonder this type of error can seem like something really serious. Fortunately, it is not as scary as it seems, and fixing it is quite easy. BIOS Basics In order to understand what triggers the BIOS checksum error, what the bios checksum error error means and how you can fix it, it is necessary to understand what the BIOS is and how it works. Simply put, the Basic Input/Output System, or BIOS, is a program that checks if all the components necessary for the computer to run are present; if everything is ok, the BIOS gives the processor the necessary instructions on how to proceed and load the operating system. Before the boot code in the BIOS is executed, though, the BIOS data is checked for authenticity by comparing one of its values, known as a checksum, against a value stored in a memory chip called CMOS; if the values match, it means that everything is working correctly, so the boot code is executed and the computer starts normally. However, if the checksums do not match, it means that something interfered with the BIOS, so the computer displays a BIOS checksum error and stops the boot process. Causes of BIOS Checksum Errors There are two scenarios that can trigger a BIOS checksum error: Something interacts with the BIOS code and interferes with the checksum it generates; Something alters the pre-defined checksum values present in the CMOS memory. The first scenario usually occurs when an incompatible piece of hardware is installed, as it will fail to pass the initial hardware check performed by the BIOS, and thus return a BIOS checksum error. A BIOS checksum error can also be generated by an inc

I regularly have the folllowing line appear when my bios starts up - CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded. It seemed to start happening when i downloaded spybot search&destroy. I have since removed the program but still have the problem. I have changed the cmos battery on the mobo as recommended in other threads, but it still regularly (every few start ups) happens. Any advice to solve the problem? The board is only six months old. CPU and RAM test fine. I have two hard drives, non raid, sata connection. Nov 25, 2005 #1 netbus TS Rookie when i started reading ya post.. i thought at the cmos battery too. the message from cmos happens because the cmos has been reseted. this ussualy is done or by removing the battery temporarily... or by a jumper on the board. you replaced the battery so this isn`t a problem anymore. maybe the battery isn't fit correctly. or the jumper is not correctly set.. and periodically the contacts are touched. you should check both . it this fails.. is a motherboard problem... the cmos information is lost due to power lost from the battery that powers it.
