I am getting the error stated as CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad , is it because the CMOS battery is dead?

most likely if it says the checksum is bad then i would think the battery could be the issue..

If you upgrade from a pentium 3 to a pentium 4  but didn't to a fresh install of windows you should definitly update your screencard, sound card and motherboard drivers.\n\nYour next option might be to make sure that your current ram is 100% compatible with your motherboard and also make certain that there are no problems with your ram.\n\nAlso turn off automatic restarts in XP, so that you can see what information is displayed when the error occurs. To disable autoimatic restarting in windows XP goto control panel (instructions are for the classic view). Open SYSTEM and CLICK on the ADVANCED tab. under the section STARTUP AND RECOVERY click the SETTINGS button. Uncheck the combo box labeled AUTOMATICALLY RESTART in the SYSTEM FAILURE section.\n\nAfter that if you recieve a blue screen you can record the information there. If will also tell you where the minidump is stored, you can contact me and i'll give you my email adress so you can send me the minidump for debuging. EDIT: the blue screen should give you an indication of where to start looking for the problem, i.e. what driver it could be.\n\nIf you dont see a blue screen upon restarting it's more likely a hardware problem. this could be due to a underpower system, faulty power supply, corrupted ram or some other hardware major hardware problem. \n\nTo check the ram goto http://www.memtest86.com or if you have a linux boot cd lying around it might give you the option to run memtest from it.

The only way to really fix that is to exercise your warranty/consumer rights. If it's not acceptable most retailers will send you a replacement. If they have a dead-pixel policy that says one is ok, there's not much you can do from a technical perspective. The circuits are just too small and delicate to work with.

I think it is problem in your BIOS settings. It is trying to detect a hardware that is not functioning. So try to correct the BIOS settings.

the battery is dead on your motherboard\nYou need to take the case cover off, and pull the flat battery out of the mother board and replace with the same type. \nREMEMBER To UNPLUG the computer first!!!!!\nLOL

It appears from the code that you have an issue with the system board of the laptop. You can try resetting the BIOS to the default settings, saving it then rebooting. If it goes into the error again you will need to have it serviced. If it is a Pentium 3 or older, It is probably not worth the cost as you can get new laptops now under 1,000. If you are worried about data on the drive, you can get a external caddy for the hard drive to salvage the data. You can find them at newegg for under 50 bucks.

Reset CMOS. Better still, remove and replace the CMOS battery.  If that does not work, then you need to have the motherboard tested to see if the back panel connectors are working properly.\n\nEdited- PN   she said she already checked the keyboard on another pc, besides if the CMOS battery dies, it can do so quickly so you would not be able to tell if time was kept properly.  This is from years of experience with PC repair, so before you answer, read the question.

Have you scanned your BIOS for a virus? You could have one in there that is causing the problem. You did not say what kind of "corruption" you are getting, stack point error? Or what? Could still be an intermittent hard drive that fails over time (heat problem or what ever). After it gets corrupted can you run scan disk? You may have to do that in safe mode.

Reseat the memory in the slot, or try switching them around. Sounds like a bad connection.

Possible solutions\n\nClear startup - some prgms would cause freezing at the startup\nRe-install windows\nSwap or change memory sticks.\n\nI am sure this would help u to fix freezing issues.

need more information.  What website?  What kind of error messgage are you receiving?

as the error explains, it is a device error. remove every additional hardware that you might have installed. then restart the system and re-install the hardware.

the problem is not a bad pcb board, it is the firmware, here is a site with suggestions that have worked for other people\nhttp://forums.onforce.com/viewtopic.php?p=30550, thewy say someitmes just leaving it on for a few hours running might reset the firmware\nlooks like the only other alternative is to send it get datarecovery and repair, or get the bios and repair kit for 400.00 from china\nsorry

I'm guessing by the sounds of it you have a dead CMOS battery. It's a little battery(looks like a watch battery) that keeps all that info like the system clock stored when you have the computer turned off. If that was to die you would be getting messages like this. I reccomend you replace it(if you know what you are doing) or bring it to a computer store and have them do it and it should fix the problem.

is your card a intergrated one,and if it isnt check to see if it is seated correctly as i had this error once because i had,nt inserted it properlly\n        go into bios and check the agp&#92;pci setting,it should be st to agp...not pci\n        also try downloading another catylyst driver ,try going to http://www.download.com/Display-Video/3150-2108_4-0.html?tag=dir for the appropriate driver and then burn it to disk,and install it from disk,not file\n        good luck

one of your RAM chips is probably bad. Did you ever get a ****STOP**** error, BSOD(Blue Screen Of Deth)
