The
Causes Of The Bad Checksum Error IN CMOS 
When you are using the computer you
may be frequently interrupted with the bad checksum
error that cause panic to you too. The checksum
in a computer is said to be a code that detects errors
in the CMOS that is stored in the BIOS of the computer.
The bad checksum error can occur when
the value of the CMOS is wrong. It is the function of
the CMOS memory to store a value that is specific for
the protection of the BIOS software. Every time your
computer is booted this number is checked against the
stored value of the CMOS memory. If there is a difference
between both these values the bad checksum error
is displayed on the computer that you are using.
Another cause of the bad checksum error
may be caused when the battery of the CMOS is not functioning
properly. You will have to check into the life of the
battery as it may have expired. There can be the same
error when the computer is not shut down properly. If
you do not switch off the main switch of your computer
and restart the system you will get the bad
checksum error message on the screen.
In order to address the bad checksum error
issue you can run a virus scan to set the BIOS settings
in your computer to its original source. There may have
been a recent BIOS update that may have corrupted the
CMOS and this is the reason why you should ensure that
the scan restores the BIOS to its original default settings.
In order to avoid the occurrence of the bad
checksum error in CMOS you must ensure that
the computer is shut down properly after you have closed
the operating system. In this manner you can avert the
bad checksum error issue and prevent the impairment
of your system.
