MotherBoard Problems

it may not be bad. try flashing th CMOS with the jumper then there should be an option to "Load Fail-safe Defaults". if that doesn't work go into the CMOS and manually set the multiplier and FSB

test

i have just built up a machine from some parts i bought and everytime i switch on my computer i get an the error "cmos checksum error" and this resets the bios settings everytime i reset or turn of the computer. i have tryed a new cmos battery in the machine and it still does comes up with the same error so i wondering if you guys have an idea what it could be ??

Sounds like a bad Mobo to me.

this very thing happened to my friend's first computer. he tried two new batteries. all he did was flash the CMOS then load fail-safe defaults and it worked. he built another last night and got the "checksum error" so he just manually set the multiplier and FSB. hope this helps.
