cmos checksum error

[Dion23]

had som eproblems overclocking my celeron 566 on my abit zm6 mb. Needed more voltage than 1.7V (couldn´t select more) and someone gave me the advice to flash the bios with the voltage set to maximum, it worked great!

unfortunately I played to much and lost the settings, and can´t repeat the "trick"
when I flash the bios and reboots I get an

"cmos checksum error, restoring defaults"

and the trick won´t work because some default settings are installed.........

help!
anyone!

That error is some times assciated with a bad CMOS battery. That is probably not your problem...just telling you..

Does it give you the error number?
162 sound familiar?

Every time I've flashed a bios on abit boards, I get that error upon first boot after flashing. It's normal because the flash process clears out all your currently saved info.
