a question USESFRITBR October 2016 When a CMOS Checksum error occurs during system startup, it could mean that the system has been cmos checksum error dell restored to default factory settings. The CMOS contains data related to 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 loi cmos checksum error 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 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
Cmos Checksum Error Defaults Loaded Solution
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 have the nearby computer technician change it for you if you don't want to risk any damage.

2011 9:40 AM Reader Robert has an older Emachines desktop that recently developed a problem: "I installed a driver updater tool, and when I deleted it, it did something that changed my BIOS. The http://ccm.net/faq/618-cmos-checksum-error-default-loaded 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 http://www.pcworld.com/article/240331/troubleshoot_a_bios_or_cmos_checksum_error.html 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 replace. Which begs the question: After all these years, why haven't laptop manufacturers figured out a better way to power the CMOS?

CMOS setup and check all values, this includes verifying the time and date are correct. Once everything has been verified and changed make http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000237.htm sure you save settings and then exit CMOS setup. If everything appears to be correct, you can try resetting the CMOS to the default values. After the CMOS values are reset, save changes and exit the BIOS to reboot the system. Tip: If this issue continues to occur after you turn off your computer off the CMOS battery may be failing or already cmos checksum bad. Before considering replacing the CMOS battery try leaving your computer on for several days. Sometimes leaving the computer can re-charge the battery. How to replace the CMOS battery. Computer improperly turned off If the computer lost power while it was still running it may have corrupted the CMOS. Make sure the computer is ready to be shut off before turning off the cmos checksum error computer. If you have a laptop computer make sure the battery is charged before disconnecting the power connection. If the CMOS values have become corrupted enter the correct values in CMOS setup and then save and exit CMOS setup to resolve your issues. BIOS update recently performed If a BIOS update has been run on the computer the values stored in CMOS may have been reset. Enter CMOS setup re-enter all values and then save and exit CMOS setup. If you are unable to enter the CMOS setup, or the computer no longer keeps its BIOS values, the BIOS update may be corrupt. In this case, we recommend updating the BIOS again or reverting to an earlier version.
