4 year old foxconn diy box.
flashed bios successfully 3.5 years ago and everything was fine.
I have wiped HDD and reinstalled xp pro sp3 several times over the years. I decided that it was time again. Unplugged everything and air compressor blew out the box. plugged everything back in. On boot:
cmos checksum error
f1 run setup
f2 load defaults and continue
Ive never seen this before.
f2 usually lets it boot into xp
f1 I make changes, but on reboot it gives me the same error. On entering f1 again I see that no changes that I make stick.
moved jumper to reset. Put jumper back and still have this issue. Battery was 3.08 volts. Still I tried a new battery. Still have the issue.
old install of xp getting slower and more buggy, so decided to reinstall despite this issue. Reinstalled xp pro sp3 and my other programs early last month. Its much faster now and not buggy anymore, however I still have the checksum error, not that I expected this to fix it.
ideas to fix checksum error??
tks,
