Hello,
There is one person i my family who got same issue now.
Motherboard is older, he pluged in a flash disk then system went down.
Now this PC is not bootable, saying the same - CMOS checksum bad, detecking usb mass storage and that this PC will go down in 15 sec.
There is no possibility to go to BIOS to do any changes.
I unluged all disks / dvd / floppy (lol yeah still have floppy :D ) but message is still same.
I take off and put back RAM and still have same issue.
maybe nextime I will bring some ddr 2 ram to try it on mine ones if his is dead or not ..

if anybody have some solution I would like to test some yours advices.

Thanky Odin

Hi,

Checksum errors are almost always an indication of RAM problems. Have you replaced the RAM lately? Or perhaps had modules out and not reinstalled properly? Is this a new board?

No mass storage devices looks like there are problems with connections or hardware problems with your hard drive.

Are you setting up a new board or did this just happen out of the blue?

Can you get into the BIOS setup when it begins booting?

Any other information would be helpful.

SYSTEM ERROR

1) if you have nothing in a USB port you will need to set bios
Try removing M/board battery for 2 to 3 hours some people say less then replace it most times it should set BIOS back to default
also check setup of hard disks master slave etc

Last resort with 15 seconds you should be able to see
press ?? key to access BIOS next boot keep pressing key see if that works
