Hi, Everytime i restart my PC it says check sum error. i need to short the jumper of my CMOS inorder to boot in windows 98se. Is this a problem of my motherboard. PLEASE share YOUR IDEAS..thanks in advance

Hi Regh, This is normally an indication that the battery for the CMOS on the motherboard needs replaced. Good Day! Mesich

They are easy to replace and only cost a couple of bucks.

First Let me tell what u mean by check sum...... in a very very simle way .The cmos or bios what u call is usually a ROMChip which stores various information of u r system including varios devices. Now if i say 1+1=2 u would agree But if i say 1+2=4 this is wrong. WHICH MEANS that there r some errors which may have been accounted while Adding/Sub/div/mul any value within the chip...... Beware ---------------- Try using AWDFLASH . But it wont be a advisable solution . Do it only in front of a Knowledgable Person --------------- Or reset The battery by removing it and again plcng it in its original position . Caution :Not To be Performed By a Novice --------------- Bye
