    « on: November 08, 2006, 04:31:01 PM »
    salam all

    my PC is shutting down after i start it,then it
    restart itself and tells me that there is a
    "Checksum error"  with two options "F1"=continue
    and "Del" to enter the setup menu..the PC is working
    normally in windows after i choose to continue though
    the clock is wrong...i have recently got an a LG DVD-RW and
    connected it with the same cable of the Hard Disk as
    a slave..while the Hard Disk is Master..i also have
    two other CD-ROMS(Asus+LG)  connected to the motherboard as
    Master and Slave..anyone can help me with the problem?
    my mother board is "Albatron PX865PE Lite"

    thanks

    A checksum error is a weak or bad CMOS battery. ;D

    3V Lithium Battery. Take your old one out and take it to the store with you to make sure you get the correct one.
