One annoying problem is bothering me every time I boot my PC. The error is CMOS setting wrong, Press F1 to load default settings. When I do that my setting are dated back to June 2004, and my start button tells "New Programs Installed" . My motherboard is ASROCK 845G and I think that it is BIOS prob. Please tell me how to flash the BIOS so I can do away with this problem

Yes. Quite positive. For an extreme case, you may need to replace your cmos chip itself, but I cant think of a situation where it can lead to a checksum error.
