    Bios Rom Cecksum Error

    I get this message every time i start the computer.

    I took out the bios to take it to a computer place to ask if they sell the exact same one and placed it back on...

    i already cleared CMOS but still thing happens...


    any suggestions ?

    Then check if you didn't break or bend any of BIOS chip's pins...
    Did you actually measure battery's voltage? or just replaced without checking?

    wouldnt it been easier to flash the bios that you pulled out of the computer in the first place? True the battery voltage could have something to do with it. I would flash the bios if you can find the current verison and see if the error returns.
