CMOS checksum error? Do you have a virus? You havent been very descriptive and it makes it difficult to help you out.

With your computer what exactly is wrong with it.

Does it fail at boot?
Does it even attempt to load windows?
Can you get into your BIOS?
Have you tried clearing CMOS?

Does it fail at boot? yes
Does it even attempt to load windows? no
Can you get into your BIOS? no
