    CPU has changed? This happens every time I shut the computer down for the night. It tells me the CMOS Checksum error and the CPU has changed, to go into the CMOS and do something or another and to make sure I save it before I quit. Also, upon booting back up the computer down in the task bar has been changed to 12:00am. Any ideas why it can be doing that?

    First guess, dead battery, it should be replaceable at any store, remove it and replace. If the battery goes, your CMOS can't store this information. This is the easiest first try.
