Opening CHECKSUM files. Did your computer fail to open a CHECKSUM file? We explain what CHECKSUM files are and recommend software that we know can open or convert your CHECKSUM files. What is a CHECKSUM file? Every day thousands of users submit information to us about which programs they use to open specific types of files.
- Dec 12, 2015 Before opening Image file for installation, Mac OS normally verifies by checksum to make sure the downloaded file is good to go. You can skip this process, but if the disk is really corrupted even little bit of difference, it might later affect the performance of Apps.
- Image - MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11PPC.dmg Reason - invalid checksum So, it has been Impossible for me to apply any updates that open with this warning, which in the case of this MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11PPC.dmg is EVERY download of it, since it will Not Open.

So here's my problem guys..
Recently I did a clean install of windows XP on my PC, everything goes smooth and no errors. But after a day I use it and shut it down for an hour and when I return and turn my PC again this problem comes out.. I have no idea why it happened, so if anyone knows how to fix this I will gladly appreciate it.. Btw. I have some experienced on PC troubleshooting but sad to say it is my first time to encounter this problem and I have no idea how to fix it. So please I really need your help guys..

Causes of CMOS Checksum Bad Error
There are usually three main reasons that a CMOS Checksum Bad Error occurs. They include:
1. CMOS Battery may not be functioning properly. The battery life may have expired. (it's probably this)
2. The user or a virus may have updated the BIOS.
3. The computer may not have been shut down properly e.g. shutting off the computer’s main power without first shutting down the computer (MS Windows requires the computer to be shut down before the power is shut off).
2. The user or a virus may have updated the BIOS.
3. The computer may not have been shut down properly e.g. shutting off the computer’s main power without first shutting down the computer (MS Windows requires the computer to be shut down before the power is shut off).
This is from tech-faq.com
Also, please don't multiple post the same question. Thanks & good luck
First of all.. Sorry for doing multiple post but I didn't meant to do that because every time I post it says '404 Not found'
hmmm.. so what should I do first to solve this problem ????
BTW. what does CMOS means ??? Sorry I had never encounter a bios problem before...
Cmos equals continuous metal oxide semiconductor. It is the small disk battery found on your motherboard. It is usually a cr2032 that can be purchased at a walmart...etc. In a laptop, it could be sheathed in a holder of some type and be more expensive.
@Sarris
-I followed the step 1
1. CMOS Battery may not be functioning properly. The battery life may have expired. (it's probably this)
= but sad to say it doesn't fix the problem still there.. any alternatives ???
I really need help guys.

hmmm.. probably its not a 'CMOS' error. its a Bad BIOS checksum error.
Oct 10, 2013 Step 8: Now click on start to create your bootable Windows 8.1 USB flash drive. Once your bootable windows 8.1 USB pen drive is created, you can then process further with installing windows 8.1. In this lab I will use Rufus 2.2.668 to create a bootable Windows 8.1 USB drive for installation. Launch Rufus 2.2.668, click the browse button to find the Windows 8.1 ISO image. After opening the ISO file, enter a label for the USB drive and click Start. Click OK to confirm that the USB drive will be formatted. Usb bootable with dmg with rufus windows 8.1.
nope.. that is why I was puzzled why this happened i just did a clean install and everything was fine and after 1 day i still use it and after an hour when I turn my PC on this problem comes out.. I've been doing some reformat and clean install before and I never encounter this problem before its my 1st time to have this problem. T_T
after reformatting(doing a clean Install of Windows XP) I did never configure or change anything on my BIOS set-up.
Hello ?????????? Anyone can help me here ???? I really need help guys. please
What is the make and model of your computer.
Also, have you been able to get in to the BIOS setup?
If so, post a screen shot/picture.

As dbarker suggested please post as much detail as requested.
If you did change the cmos battery and the problem is still there this suggests the bios chip.
Looking at the age of your machine pic above you might think is so old, is it worth repairing? In your location the chip may be difficult to obtain.
But it is important for the relevant details of the MB.

Why did you do a reinstall of XP?,
Was it because of this error you are now getting?
Was it because of this error you are now getting?
Just a clarification CMOS and cmos battery are not the same. CMOS is a circuitry design/chip while cmos battery (mostly CR2032 on computers) powers the cmos so that it can retain whatever data the cmos holds even when for example a PC (with the BIOS configuration) is turned off.
As to the OP's problem, maybe clearing cmos through a jumper on the motherboard might resolve the checksum error. If this doesn't help, maybe reprogramming the BIOS through BIOS update will do the trick.
No poison dmg vs rets. @dbarker its kinda bit old PC with a P4VP-MX Asus motherborad.. but its fine After I did a clean install of Windows XP..

your question:
Also, have you been able to get in to the BIOS setup?
- yeah at first when this problem is not around but when this problem occurred I can't able to go to BIOS setup .

@germ-x
- I did a clean install of WXP just because I wasn't use for a long time.. but when I turned it on no problems were found and after I reformat it and do a clean install it is still no errors and it goes smoothly but then the day after this problem comes out and I have no idea why this had happened.. just to clarify I did not reinstall WXP just because this problem occurred but because it wasn't use for a long time so I decided to reinstall the OS to get rid of all old files and as I said it goes great and then suddenly after a day this problem just pop out..
@G41M
- how can I do a BIOS update then ???? Should I use a USB or DVD or what ???
- how can I do a BIOS update then ???? Should I use a USB or DVD or what ???
Check here for the update procedure - http://support.asus.com/Documents/detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&m=P4VP-MX&s=15&hashedid=h2IybiXlhuhUUW38&os=&no=1704
Download the latest BIOS file (I would suggest not the beta) and BIOS updater from here http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&m=P4VP-MX&hashedid=h2IybiXlhuhUUW38
Just a word of caution, be very careful. As this procedure, if not done right would render your pc inoperative, although very remote.
And don't try it if you have electrical storms in the area, or are likely to get power cuts/outages.
tech27,
The best place to start is in your motherboard manual. Your MB has CrashFree BIOS 2.
Take a look at section 2.1.4 in the manual. also section 2.1 would be good reading.
If you don't have the manual cut and paste this into your browser.

- Okay first of all thank you for helping me here, I go to the site and read the instructions on how to update the BIOS.. but then in this step:'Boot your computer. When the ASUS Logo appears, press to show the BIOS Boot Device Select Menu. Insert the support DVD into the optical drive and select the optical drive as the boot device.' but how could it be because everytime I boot up this problem will pop up [IMG]http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb345/Mchael27/Untitled-1.jpg[/IMG] and the logo wont appear. it just this..

@dbarker ok I will read it first .. thank you for helping me.. I will give some feedback then..
How can I select the device priority if everytime I boot up this come up [IMG]http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb345/Mchael27/Untitled-1.jpg[/IMG] I cant go onto the BIOS setup//
Also when I boot up and that screen appears my Keyboard is not accessible that is why I cant use the Shortcut keys or the functions keys.. when that screen appears my keyboard wont function.. so hard how to fix this.. T_T
hmmm.. maybe I will provide a video so that you will see,
By the way guys.. I lost the original support CD.. so probably how can I put he BIOS update ??? Should I burn it on a DVD or put in on a USB or what ???
can you see menu choices at the botom of the screen such as <del> - setup, <F2> - EZ Flash? Also try to clear CMOS memory first as I have suggested in one of my POST above. Check out section 1.11 in dbarker's manual link above.
PS. Can you post the whole screen of the POST above. What's after 'Bad BIOS checksum. Starting.
hmmm. Should I download the updated BIOS from Asus website and burn it to a DVD ??? or what ?

If your computer has a floppy drive, follow the instructions for using a floppy to flash your
BIOS. Then put the floppy disk in the drive before you start up.
BIOS. Then put the floppy disk in the drive before you start up.
If no floppy, follow the instructions for building and burning a cd/dvd disc for flashing the BIOS.
And make sure the disc is in the drive before you start the computer.
And make sure the disc is in the drive before you start the computer.
It appears that the computer is looking for a disc with the BIOS file on it.
The PC is in BIOS recovery mode. Since you lost the support CD which contains the original BIOS file, uownload the latest BIOS update from Asus (previously linked) burn it to CD or copy it to floppy if you have one. Place the CD or insert the floppy before you power up the PC.
what does BIOS file looks like it is this 'P4VP1013.AMI' ??? so only that file should I burn to a DVD ?
or should I put also the 'AFUDOS' on the Disk ??? because it says here

How come the extension is '.ROM' whereas in the ASUS website and you download the BIOS file the extension in '.AMI' like 'P4VP1013.AMI'
Read on section 2.1.4, Recovering the BIOS with CrashFree BIOS2. The BIOS recovery program is searching for the BIOS file in floppy drive, if not found, in the CD drive, etc. (That's what you see in your screen).To be sure, rename a copy of the file file, P4VP1013.AMI to P4VP1013.ROM. Burn both files (AMI and ROM and the AFUDOS program to CD and let CrashFree BIOS do its thing.
@G41M
- I followed your suggestion sir but no luck.. :(
- I followed your suggestion sir but no luck.. :(
Try a bootable floppy or CD with the BIOS files and the AFUDOS program on it. Probably the restore program is looking for a bootable media. When you get the command prompt, run AFUDOS following the instruction from the manual.
