What is VRRAM?....HELP

VRRAM is the EEPROM with your BIOS on it, I believe.

Does it boot after it checks it?

If so, ignore. Or find a BIOS setting that disables VRRAM Checking, or enables Quick Boot.
 
I could be wrong. But if you have another video card try it first and see if you'll see the same message. If you don't see the message after chaning video card, then you can assume the old card has bad video rams.
 
I'd be assuming damaged CMOS or maybe even a corrupt BIOS.

Some BIOSes have a recovery feature (mainly see this on Intel mobos). Remove the CMOS jumper entirely and boot the system. Supposedly, this cues the system that the BIOS flashed imporperly and it needs to use the basic bootstrap to allow a correct BIOS flash.

What does that mean?
what should i do?

I'm going to assume that you simply mis-read the BIOS when it boots up and says, "Checking NVRAM....". Generally, it also then either says "Done", or "Updating", or something like that.

The reason being, todays systems are pretty complex, and the battery-backed CMOS storage isn't large enough to store all of the PnP configuration info on today's PCs. So they added additional storage, on modern computers with BIOS that uses a flash EEPROM. The BIOS doesn't take up the whole chip, so they allocate a small chunk for storing this PnP data. It's called NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory), or ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data).

Unless it says something like "Error", or "Updating... Failed", or hangs completely at that point, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Edit: If it actually does indeed say "VRRAM", then that's something that I've never seen in all my years of computing, and that would indicate that you have a problem. Either a corrupted BIOS (due to bad flash), or bad/flaky/out-of-spec RAM/CPU, or bad/overheating memory on your video card.
 
how do you remove CMOS?
the problem is still exist when i exchange video card
i also tried removing the battery and plug back in; it still won't work
Is there anything wrong with my mb?
