I have my pc running through a surge protector that has 4 outlet power points. 3 of these power points are used by my pc. The 4th I use to run a second telephone from. This arrangement means that when I shutdown my pc, I have to physically switch the 3 'pc related' switches off, leaving my telephone connected. On one occasion recently, and I don't know why I did it, after switching these 3 switches off, I depressed the power switch on the front of my pc. For a brief second, the fans turned, before the power was lost.
Since then, every time I power up my pc I get a checksum error. When I go into Setup, the date is set to 1st December 2002 and has to be set manually. I have even tried to reset the default values but the problem still persists each time I power up. Once the date is set manually, the pc boots up fine and is fully functional - until the next time.
How can this be corrected permanently???:cry:
