When i go to boot, CMOS checksum error occurs and i cant get to BIOS screen. I tried replacing battery and resetting CMOS jumpers, but it didn't work. I've stripped down all the unnessissary components, and i just have memory, board and video card (which doesn't have a seperate power connector.) I'm thinking that either my board has a short, or that my memory is bad. How do I test if the board is bad? If i could Boot from a CD i could test memory, but can't! I don't want to send my board back if its actually fine. If anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it!

- Thanks, Galen
