Cmos Checksum Bad Fix
by reading through several threads posted on this site. However, i am having some trouble with my msi P55-GD 65 MAINBOARD. It keeps giving me the cmos checksum error fix CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR. Msi's boards have this annoying habit of booting 3 times consecutively every time i make changes in BIOS (overclocking). However, now even on stock settings, it has started to boot 3 times which is very frustrating, every time. I have

Computer improperly turned off If the computer was had the power disconnected while it was still running it is possible this could cause the CMOS to become corrupt. Ensure that the computer is ready to be shut off before turning off the computer. If you have a laptop computer make sure the battery is charged before disconne
the CMOS Checksum Bad Error, hence they can be handled effectively. The Error Explained A checksum is computed as an error detecting code to guard the BIOS settings stored in the
What Is Checksum Error
CMOS memory. The CMOS Checksum Bad Error is an error that occurs when the
How To Clear Cmos Checksum Error
CMOS values turn out to be incorrect. The CMOS memory stores a specific value normally to guard the BIOS software. Each time cmos checksum error after replacing battery the computer is booted, this value, which is a number is checked against the stored value in the CMOS memory. If these two values are different, it causes a CMOS Checksum error message. If these values http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/309297-30-cmos-checksum-error-board are the same, the computer boots normally. Each computer usually deals with the CMOS Checksum Bad Error differently. Some computers warn the user and continue to boot up using settings in the CMOS, while other computers might warn the user and use the default settings in the BIOS as the correct settings and carry on with a normal boot or reboot. Usually, the strategy the computer employs is stated in the error http://www.tech-faq.com/cmos-checksum-bad-error.html message. Causes of CMOS Checksum Bad Error There are usually three main reasons that a CMOS Checksum Bad Error occurs. They include: CMOS Battery may not be functioning properly. The battery life may have expired. The user or a virus may have updated the BIOS. The 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). Solutions to CMOS Checksum Bad Error The CMOS Checksum Bad Error can be fixed easily by following the listed steps carefully. CMOS Battery May Not be Functioning Properly If the user suspects that the CMOS battery is not functioning properly, he/she can easily change it. Before changing the battery, reboot the computer to make sure that the error still exists. If it does, go into the CMOS and write down all of the settings. If all the settings are lost, they can usually be retrieved from the computer manufacturer. Now locate the battery and remove it. Consult the computer manual or technical support to remove your battery (the battery is flat, shiny silver colored, and coin-shaped) if needed. Take down the CMOS battery’s information such as volt, size, etc. Replace the old ba

During boot, I get the following error message: CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded Indeed, the time, date, and boot device priority are reset and the values I had set up before switching the computer off are gone. My first explanation was that the CMOS battery must be cmos checksum error empty so I bought and installed a new one. But the behaviour has not changed: after switching off and disconnecting the power cable, the next time I switch on, the CMOS settings are lost and the error message is printed again. Any suggestions as to what I should check next? EDIT Following the suggestions contained in the answers and comments, I performed a few further tests using another computer that I know is working properly, i.e. it does not lose BIOS settings between reboots. Unplugged computer with its own battery on, waited a minute or two, plugged again, booted: settings are there. Unplugged again, removed battery, put new battery (the one I had used to test the bad computer as described above) in, plugged in, booted, set up time and date, shut down, unplugged, waited for a few minutes, plugged, booted: settings are there. So: the new battery is good. Unplugged again, removed new battery, put old battery from bad computer in, plugged, set up time and date, shut down, unplugged, waited for a few minutes, plugged, booted: settings are NOT THERE. So: the old battery is bad. So, I have ruled out the case that the new battery is bad. I have performed another test on another computer I am trying to repair. Same model as the bad one above. Removed battery and put the new battery in: it does not retain the settings. The reset jumper is

I recently formatted my computer running windows xp and bought windows 7 to upgrade it. When I upgraded the computer it was getting very high CPU spikes without me running hardly anything at all and so I decided to update my bios but now when my computer starts up it says Press F1 to run SETUP or F2 to load default values and continue. When I go into setup it takes me to the blue BIOS screen and F2 starts the computer. Incidently the computer still has the high CPU spikes so the flash hasn't really done the job I wanted it to do so I'm pretty stuck now. My board details pre the update we're as follows:MS-7350 1.0, Bus Clock: 267 megahertz, BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. V2.3 07/12/2007.My new update is V2.6 07/29/2008 with all else being the same.My computer has a 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor with 4 gig of ram and I'm running a 64 bit win 7.Can anybody help with this? I have spent so much time trying to get it right but not getting anywhere fast so any tips or suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

If you have done this and the settings are not being retained then it may be that your battery is dead.Or it may be that you need to clear the CMOS (your motherboard
