At least once a week, my computer stops whatever it's doing, goes to a semi-black screen (if you know, you know), and I have to fully turn off my computer. When it eventually turns back on, I get the following message:
"The CMOS checksum is invalid. The CMOS will reset to the default configuration, and the computer will restart. Afterwards, please check the BIOS setup options to see if they change. CMOS Reset (502)"
I don't understand that message whatsoever, and I don't know what to do about this, as this has been happening for months now. What's happening with my computer, and what should I do?
