cmos shecksum bad error

Every thing is explained above but here is what I’ve been working with. I hope it also helps someone out there. I am using this mainboard:ABIT NF-M2SV. Rev:1.0 It started out with the following problems: Would loose the Date, Time & so on in the BIOS every time I would turn off the PSU. I changed the Battery since that is the first thing CMOS Checksum error says to check. That did not work. In my case the Battery “negative clip” under the battery was not making a good connection, the battery when installed was very loose. I bent that clip up, installed the battery, bent the positive clip down. That solved the problem listed above. Next, I changed the Optical Drive Ribbon cable. I went into the BIOS & did the following:1.In Power Management Setup I changed “ACPI Suspend Type” from “S3 (STR)” to “S1 (POS)”. 2. Disabled “Resume By PCI-E PME”.3. Enabled “Onboard GPU”. 4. Reinstalled “nvidia Chipset Drivers”. I did this because I noticed that the CPU Fan (which is set up with AMD Cool “n” Quiet) was shutting down & not turning back on when the CPU temperature started to go above the limit I set. Actually I don’t think it should shut down but rather slow down.5. Did the reinstalling of the Nvidia Chipset Drivers & booted it up. Now the above ” CMOS Checksum Error” explains just about what I did, I just thought it would be a good idea to add this posting so other can see that if you follow some rather easy steps, you can save some of the hair that usually gets pulled out. BTW, if you do buy a mainboard with no manual or “Run CD’s”, take the time to make sure you get all the correct driver packs & have them ready. I had to ask myself, “Is this board even worth it?” Not really, I just wanted a system for doing all my office documents, storage for pictures I keep for computers & related parts I sell. I’m still running XP Pro on it so I’ll keep the “Automatic Updates” turned off so that “POST Boot up to Windows Desktop” stay’s at about 8 to 10 seconds. If I was able to give at least one person some hope and/or confidence to solve their “Checksum error” problem then it’s all worth it. Thanks, DanMax
