CMOS Battery Problem

A message “CMOS Checksum Failure” displays during the booting process or the time (clock) resets when booting

Try to reboot the system.

If the message “CMOS Checksum Failure” appears during the booting procedure even after rebooting, it may indicate failure of the CMOS battery. If so, you need to replace the battery.

This battery normally lasts two to five years. The battery is of type CR2032 (3V). Send the battery to the dealer for replacement.

Memory Problems

The POST does not show an increased memory capacity when you have already installed additional memory

Certain brands of memory module may not be compatible with your system. You should ask your vendor for a list of compatible DIMM.

The memory module may be defective.

The O/S issues an insufficient memory error message during operation

This is often a software or Windows-related problem. A program is draining the memory resources.

Close the application programs you’re not using and restart the system.
