Having the bios report checksum errors at boot time.
Being unable to enter the bios by pressing delete during boot up.
These two have nothing at all to do with the OS, and only indicates that you have hardware problems. I don't know which BIOS you have, but I would bet that the checksum errors come from memory tests, and indicate that you have problems with bad RAM
It can be the cmos checksum test, and usually means a low cmos battery.
The bad checksum error can occur if the bios image has been patched and the checksum has not been recomputed and replaced.
The BIOS tests run long before any software from the OS gets loaded (even before the boot loader is touched) and cannot be caused by any bug there.
Absolutely.
