Hello 
I've been having a bit of a major problem with my PC and wondered if anyone here could help,
Basicly, When i start my PC up, just before it detects all my drives etc it says
'CMOS/GPNV checksum bad
Press F1 To Enter Setup
Press F2 To Load Defaults And Continue'
If i press F1 to enter setup, i see no possible cure for the problem in my BIOS. If i press F2 to continue, my PC will boot up ok, but my mouse doesnt work (PS/2) and navigating with TAB/ALT/NUMPAD gets pretty old
Possible cures people have suggested that i have already tryed are:
Replace CMOS Battery
Check BIOS chip and CMOS battery are seated correctly
Check RAM is seated correctly
I have done all of the above and still get the problem. Any ideas?
Heres the techincal jargen:
PROCESSOR: P3 650Mhz
RAM: 384 MB DIMM
MainBoard: MS6178 v:1.1
OS: Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2)
BIOS: AMIBIOS HIFLEX SETUP UTILITY V:1.22
P.S: Investing in a USB/SERIAL Mouse isn't the answer, im broke
haha
Thanks in advance for any help with this!!
