Problem after rebuild
      #386828 - Mon Mar 03 2008 06:05 PM

Hi all.
I have just done a PC rebuild.
My other computer needed a new
case,so I put all the the works
from one case to the new case,but when
I start the PC it runs POST then shows
the following message"CMOS checksum error
defaults loaded"
Any advise please.
Regards.

That usually relates to the battery on the motherboard being dead.

Thanks RichieP
That done the trick.
although this M/B is fairly
new,it makes you wonder what
the shelf life of these batteries
are.
Once again many thanks.

You're welcome. It does seem like you're a bit unlucky, as they should last several years.
