Cmos battery checksum - EliteGroup L7VMM2 Motherboard

you can change BIOS battery this may be due to the fact that the battery powering the CMOS (when the computer is shut down it allows the CMOS to store information), is depleted.The CMOS battery is a small pin found on the motherboard; you can refer to the manual provided with your motherboard to change it.

Check CMOS and Memory Modules:::If the error message is "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP," then it indicates you have problem with the memory of your computer. You need to check whether the SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) are compatible and have the same speed. Secondly, also check whether you have set the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) to the right amount of RAM. If these solutions do not work, you might have to replace memory in your computer....try to use system utility tool like Reginout.. Hope the problem is resolved.

Solutions to CMOS Checksum Bad Error

The CMOS Checksum Bad Error can be fixed easily by following the listed steps carefully.

CMOS Battery may not be functioning properly

If you suspect that your CMOS battery is not functioning properly, you can easily change it. Before changing your battery, reboot your computer to make sure that the error still exists. If it does, go into your CMOS and write down all of the settings. If all the settings are lost, you can usually retrieve them from your computer manufacturer. Now locate the battery and remove it, you might need to consult your computer's manual or technical support to remove your battery (the battery a flat, shiny silver colored and coin-shaped). Take down the CMOS battery's information such as volt, size, etc. Once you have your new battery, you can replace it and reenter your CMOS settings. If your battery was the cause of the CMOS Checksum Bad Error, you should have solved the problem.

Your BIOS may have been updated

If your BIOS have been updated recently, your CMOS settings may have reset. Make sure that the values entered in the BIOS are correct or simply reset them to the default settings. If you believe that a virus has updated your BIOS settings, run a virus scan and make sure that the BIOS settings are back to the default.

The Computer may not have been shut down properly

Sometimes when running MS Windows, if you shut down your computer without first properly shutting down your operating system, it will corrupt the CMOS settings causing the CMOS Checksum Bad Error. You can easily avoid this error by making sure that you completely shut down your computer properly before turning off the main power. Usually this entails going into the Start Menu, clicking on Turn Off Computer/ Shut Down. If improper shutdown was the cause of the error, you may have solved the issue.



akuma_ryu21 rate it pls!!

Hi there,

When starting your PC, the following error message is displayed:

CMOS wrong
CMOS MEMORY size WRONG
CMOS Checksum Bad
CMOS checksum error defaults loaded
Warning! CPU has been changed please re-enter cpu settings in the cmos setup and remember to save before quit!
You are prompted to:

Press F1 to resume
Press F2 to load default values and continue


This is due to the fact that the CMOS, which contain data related to the BIOS, has been reinitialized and that your PC has been reset to factory settings.

Solutions:

Reinitializing the BIOS

• • Before making any costly maintenance try to reinitialized the BIOS.
• Change BIOS battery
  • If the problem persist this may be due to the fact that the battery powering the CMOS (when the computer is shut down allows the CMOS to store information), is depleted.
  • The CMOS battery is a small pin found on the mother board, you can refer to the manual provided with your motherboard to change it or have the nearby computer technician change it for you if you don't want to risk any damage.
  • More information with: Replacing the battery of your motherboard (CMOS battery)

Post back if it is not working we will be happy to help you.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!!!!

The CMOS checksum error occurs when the CMOS battery is worn out and the CMOS data gets corrupted. Replace the CMOS battery, this battery most likely a CR2032 lithium coin size button battery - check to make sure before you purchase.
After replacing with a new battery, then go to the BIOS configuration and set the Time & Date etc.

There are usually three main reasons that a CMOS Checksum Bad Error has occurred. They include:

• CMOS Battery may not be functioning properly. The battery life may have expired.
• Your BIOS may have been updated (either by user or possibly a virus)
• 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 you to shut down your computer before shutting off the power).

Hello

Please reset cmos to factory defaults.
Then enter the bios setup and configure it and save changes.

easy......cmos checksum bad =

dead battery ...buy a new cmos battery for £2 ..make sure you install correct way up...

from any pc shop or ebay...

you will have to reset date /time in bios afterwards...f2 or delete usually to enter bios settings..
regards tonster

Hi robynonis
Yes, definatly the cmos battery. Please make sure you replace with same type battery.
Regards Go-Tech

Are the CMOS batteries good?
