The most common cause of checksum errors in CMOS is a battery that is losing power. Viruses can also affect CMOS settings, and motherboard problems can also affect the stored values.

Recommendation:Follow the instructions in this section to address the CMOS corruption http://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/comp/mbs..._Corrupted.htm . You should make sure that all of the BIOS settings in the system are correct, by rebooting the system, going into BIOS setup and double-checking all the values (hopefully against a recent BIOS settings backup http://www.pcguide.com/care/bu/what_BIOS.htm ).
