Hi guys,

I was in my case moving things around and installing a couple of fans and after I booted back up my DS3 came up with cmos checksum error. It's only a few weeks old, so I doubt the battery is dying or weak. So, I am wondering if it could have been a result of the OCing--although my 6300 has been running stable at the same speed (7x450) for weeks now and I didn't change any BIOS settings. Should I be concerned?
 
did you just get the checksum error once and everything went back to normal? or is it preventing you from booting at all?
 
It just happened once and everything now seems fine. Any idea as to what might have caused it?
 
i get a one-time checksum error like that everytime i reset my BIOS. you might have bumped the CMOS battery, not likely, but since everything is running good now.. i'm not sure what else it could have been.
 
I wouldn't worry about it unless it kills your computer :). I get it sometimes when I make changes to the bios or if I clear the CMOS.
 
Thanks for the replies...I won't worry about it since everything seems fine. Now if it starts to happen on a regular basis, I'll assume there is a more serious issue to deal with.
