Hello,
Lately, I have been getting the following message on start up:
CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad
Press F1 to Run SETUP
Press F2 to load default values and continue
I press F1 to enter the BIOS to find that the date has changed to sometime
last year - today it showed as Fri Aug 09, 2002 & the time as 00:00:00.
It is easy enough for me to put the settings back to what they should be in the BIOS, but I am wondering why the BIOS does not hold its settings.
The motherboard is only a few months old. It is an AMIBIOS, (C)2000 American Megatrends, Inc. I have an AMD 2000+ XP chip with 512Mb of DDRAM on an EliteGroup ECS K7S5A motherboard.
I have not changed the battery on the motherboard as it is quite new. I would like to know if there is something else that could be causing this problem.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated - thank you.
Best wishes.
