I've ran into Checksum errors before, we usually had to replace the motherboard. That might be drastic, but it fixes it. Try resetting your CMOS (jumper, battery, whatever).

It is a round button cell. You should be able to spot it pretty easily.

If you look at the motherboard, it's generally a flat, nickel sized doohickey. In fact it looks like a coin on your motherboard.
