I dont know if this has anything to do with it - but getting back to Sheilahs first post - Her PC keeps resetting itself. On the course that im doing we have just been working on the power supply unit and one of the main symptons (we are told) of this going faulty is the pc keeps re-seting itself. Just a thought

Hi - Ted - Dont really know if this will be help as its my first post here. The CMOS Checksum error dosent necessaraly mean the fault is in the CMOS even though what has been sugested above regarding the battery is the usually the first and best thing check. CMOS checksum error msssage (from what i can determine) can cover a multitude of sins. Rumaging around on line through other Q&A forums it would seem that it could be any thing from CMOS battery to any computer part you can name even including a virus. The general concencus to faults as described by you and those who have experanced the same symptons and have been overclocking is replace the Memory Module - also check the keyboard as you say buttons dont work as others had the same problem of not being able get responce for key press. Some even had the keyboard connected to the wrong socket i.e. mouse to keyboard and viasa versa. Hope this helps in some way - but i will keep looking Mike

Hi - First let me say thanks for having me - My name is Mike aka GeekFreak for want of a better name.
