I returned to my PC to find it had turned itself off, so I pressed the power botton to switch it on again.

Upon reaching the boot menu part of startup, it stopped at the following error:

CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad

Press F1 to run Setup
Press F2 to load default values and continue

Any ideas what this means?

And do I take to F1 pill or the F2 pill?

Thanks Plot, much appreciated - I thought it had died.

The clock has reset itself - anything else I might need to straighten out, or indeed what the error means?

ETA - Fidgits, I wouldn't have a clue what to fiddle with (on the computer at least wink)
