Did it help enlighten you as to why my laptop is requiring me to re-save the BIOS each time I try to power it up?
Hi, I don't see the start of the thread, so apologies if this has already being said. The first cause to have to re-save the bios is bad bios battery. Bad contact, dead battery, etc. Then there is software error: the bios calculates a checksum. If the checksum is invalid on boot, it assumes the contents of the config area are bad, and resets it (cmos bios memory). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
