Maybe the bios(or was it CMOS?) battery needs replacement.

Only Happens When Powers Been Cut Or Trip Switch Goes

Well its really swell that you've updated the BIOS n all DD - but thats not what Rag was saying.

On your motherboard theres a battery, quite like the ones you find in a watch. You need to replace it.

Stop being stupid and posting useless comments.

A CMOS checksum error would mean that the checksum didn't match what's actually in the CMOS. Could be caused by a faulty battery, or a damaged motherboard. I'd still suggest changing the battery and seeing what happens then.

Definitely the CMOS Battery, buy a new one, they're only a quid or so down at your local electrical shop, if the error persists then RMA the motherboard

RMA - return it to the shop and receive a new one ^^.

Did you change the battery? Do you still get the errors? If no, then your just fine - don't do anything.
