I posted this a while back, and I'm stil looking for help.
just finished building my 2nd PC after deciding to depart from my aging K6-3 system. The new one works fine except it won't save the changes made in CMOS setup.
Here's the problem, I turn it on, and while it's booting, right after detecting IDE devices, it'll say "CMOS checksum error-Defaults loaded. Warning : CPU has been changed! Please reenter CPU settings in CMOS setup..."
What the hell? It wouldn't be that much of a problem, but changing the clock every time is getting annoying. I looked at the MSI slocket, it's set correctly...the voltage is on auto.
I the mobo battery not working? It was brand-new when 2 weeks ago, here's what's in my system (which runs fine otherwise)...
P3 700E/100
MSI BX master mobo
128MB Crucial RAM
Voodoo 3 2000
Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 15Gb ATA66
Vortex2 sound card
24X CD-ROM
Any help appreciated
thanks
