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 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).

The black screen cmos checksum 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 cmos checksum error 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?

all is good, but when this goes wrong a Checksum Error is born. Checksum Error Symptoms A Checksum Error will occur at startup most of the time however, it can occasionally happen at a time of normal computing. When a Checksum Error does occur there is a large pop up message that alerts you to the problem. If left unchecked for too long, further symptoms could include an inability to startup your PC properly. Checksum Error Causes The most common cause of a Checksum Error is a faulty battery. When this is the case, the motherboard of your PC is not being adequately supplied the power it needs to startup properly. Of course, it could also be that your PC has a virus problem or that your PC’s registry is corrupt and cluttered. Fixing a Checksum Error Fixing a Checksum Error needs to be done right away so the problem doesn’t intensify. You should first have your battery checked and make sure it is not going bad. If it is, you will have to replace it. This is not a typical battery so be careful when locating and checking it. If the battery is okay then you will want to immediately run a virus scan: Steps: Start your PC in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key during boot up. Double-click the anti-virus software icon on your desktop or tool tray. Select to scan the entire PC. Delete any and all viruses found. Restart your computer for changes to go into place and see if the problem persists.
