Award bootblock BIOS v1.0

BIOS ROM Checksum error

Detecting floppy drive A media...
---------------------------------------------
While using winxp the computer dumps out of XP and goes to a black
screen [like the old dos days] and displays the "above message
appears" and the A:drive light is green and on like it is expecting a
disk in the drive.


PROBLEM: My computer reboots itself for unknown reasons.

here is a list of my comp
WinXP
ASUS A7N8X-UAY 400Mhz FSB
CPU AMD|2500+/333 Athlon XP Barton
Connect 3d|Radeon 9600 128M DVI/TV video card
DDRAM 256MG|DDR400 CL25 PC3200 Kingston X2 = 512 Megs o ram
HD 80GB|WD 7200RPM 8mb cache


Also, my clock runs about 4 minutes fast all the time, I have to re
sychronize it all the time with windows servers.
any help would be appreciated with this problem.

You may have a virus on it. Try running your anti virus program.

I failed to mention that I did run norton;s AV on it already and
nothing was found.


I've narrowed it down to either
1. PSU
2, battery
3. reseting cmos
4. flashing cmos

Is there an online how-to guide on changing the battery for
motherboards?

thanks,

There isn't really much to it. Find the battery, take it out, and put a new
one it. Your mobo manual should tell you how to do it though.
