    I have a new ABIT motherboard, brand new, I just got it off Tigerdirect.com, well i was having some problems, and someone told me to take the CMOS jumper or whatever it's called out, and put it into slot 2, than put it back into slot 1. I did that, and now my comptuter is saying CMOST checksum error, press F1 to continue, or press Del to enter setup. I tried doing both, and the computer doesn't do anything. Anyone know what i can do to fix this problem?

    Take out the CMOS battery and wait 30 seconds. Replace the battery and press F1 to load defaults and you should be able to procede into windows.
