Checksum error

[Vogster]

I'm loading XP on a new computer and am getting checksum errors after the first bootup. I've tried reloading and it didn't work.
What suggestions do you guys have.

Thanks in adance.

I read previous posts, and they said it was a dying battery or something to do with me changing the bios. BUt I haven't really touched the bios other than setting the time and adjusting teh boot order. THe motherboard is an Abit kg-7 and i sbrand new.

sometimes "clearing" the bios gets rid of those errors.

that involves taking the battery out for 20-30 minutes or shorting the "clear bios" jumpers on the mobo

If clearing the CMOS doesn't work, try a new battery. You may have just gotten a bad one with your board.

If the previously mentioned solutions don't work. You might try flashing the bios.
