it, it did something that changed my BIOS. 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 what is checksum error 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)
by Alex BarbosA 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 cmos checksum error defaults loaded that hasn’t been used for a long time. If it sounds like

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 http://www.pcworld.com/article/240331/troubleshoot_a_bios_or_cmos_checksum_error.html 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 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 https://blog.udemy.com/bios-checksum-error/ 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 BasicsIn order to understand what triggers the BIOS checksum error, what the 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 interfere
previous thread but discontinued it when the problem resolved itself. I have a dell inspiron 530 desktop. The problem is as follows. I boot up , the computer comes on, the monitor comes on, then https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1937243.html the monitor goes off, the computer goes off , then the cycle repeats itself. If and when I reach the stage when I can enter set-up or the boot-up menu, then generally things proceed okay. However, pass http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-2317492-boot-cmos-checksum-erreur-default-loaded this stage lately , it has gone back into the cycle. I only have ubuntu install; this is not a dual boot problem.Things I have done to resolve this problem.Read all the ubuntu literature I could cmos checksum find,per the suggestion when I previously posted this thread,,but found no clue as to the cause. Ran the dell utility to check the hardware, and particularly the hard drive, but found no problems. Tried Boot-Repair. Backed-up and reinstall 10-4. Then installed 11-10.I managed to read a message from dell which read: Alert Previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint 50.The computer failed to complete the boot routine on three consecutive times cmos checksum error for the same error. I contacted dell but no one could tell me what it meant ; the advice given was to run the dell utility disc. I searched on line for the above error and the suggestion it was a CMOS error due to a faulty battery. Even though the date was still accurate, I changed the battery on the mother board. On boot-up. the same problem occurred, then proceeded to a successful boot-up. I should mention that after the re-installation, but before the battery change, the computer booted up successfully with no problems on fifteen occasions.

However, for a double-check I have restarted in the past after the computer have been on for at least 2 hours. Sometimes, the problem still occurs.

J'ai acheté un pc que j'ai moi même monté : ASUS A8N-E ATHLON 64 3200+ MAxtor serial ata 250 Go .. Voici ce qu'il met à l'écran au démarrage : "CMOS checksum error- default loaded" J'ai chercher sur le net etc... pendant toute la journée le défault : Vérifier la pile et même remplacée. Flasher le bios (pas arrivé car dernière version du bios déjà loaded : 1013) Clear CMOS déconnecter tout les périphériques sauf CG,HD charger les parametres par défault du bios Verifier la vitesse du proco ainsi que le fsb etc... Rien ne change quoi que ce soit... Un "F1" résoud le problème temporairement mais impossible de mettre à jour windows via le windows update, et impossible d'installer des programmes qui nécessite une décompression des fichiers install comme windows live messenger,firefox et sd codec pack Mais j'ai remarqué qqch en changeant la pile et donc cle
