Each time i have to open my computer this "CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR" prompt on my screen. I don't know how it happen. I ask some friends how to fix this error? some say "go to BIOS SETUP load the default settings and then save & exit". I've done this several times but the error still prompting. Although i still able to used my computer but it runs slowly. The clock and date of my computer are not the same with the current date & time. I though it may be because of this. So i set the clock and date the same with the current then i reset my computer, but same result. How could i fix this error? is there something wrong with my system board or some devices on my computer? Please help me..Thank you

yes going to the bios and loading the default settings will solve the problem as it seems some comfiguration is there in the bios.

try to check connection of some devices connected to your motherboard if it is plugged it properly.
