CMOS Checksum Bad Errors

0 comments

Causes of CMOS Checksum Bad Errors
There are 3 main reasons that cause a CMOS Checksum Bad Error:
• CMOS Battery malfunctioning
• Your BIOS has been updated (possibly a virus)
• The computer was shut down improperly (MS

 

Windows requires you to shut down your computer before shutting off the power).
Here are some remedies for each situation:
CMOS Battery Not Functioning Properly: If your CMOS battery is not functioning properly change it. Go into your CMOS and write down all of the settings. If you loose them you can also get them from your computer manufacturer. Locate the battery and remove it (consult your computers manual or tech support). Once you have your new battery, you can replace it and reenter your CMOS settings.
Your BIOS has Been Updated: Your CMOS settings may have become reset. Make sure that the values entered in the BIOS are correct and reset them to the default settings. Run a virus scan and make sure that the BIOS settings are back to the default.
The Computer Was Shut Down Improperly: Running MS Windows, if you shut down your laptop or desktop without shutting down your operating system first, it will corrupt the CMOS settings and cause the CMOS Checksum Bad Error.
Avoid this error by completely shutting down your computer before turning off the power.

LIST OF PROXY SERVER


 

A web proxy is becoming more and more important in today's internet. Schools and Companys tend to block sites pretty quickly nowadays.It is especially irritating when the ban is directed towards just a few websites and not every website in that category. A Web Proxy might be able to sneak past this policies and display the site in your browser even though it is banned in the network.

How does a web proxy work ?

A network bans a website either by its IP, its name or part of its name. A web proxy makes only shows its own address to the network and not the actual destination of the user. The admin of the network will think everything is fine and you are free to reach the site that is banned. The only thing that might happen is that the admin is banning the web proxy as well, but this is not a big deal either. Hundreds of web proxys exist, just switch to a new one and you are ready to visit the banned site again.

  1. Setup your own Web Proxy:

    Let us assume that all proxy websites have been banned in your network, you can´t find a single web proxy that is still working. Your best choice is to create your own web proxy at an address that only you know. All you need is the php web proxy proxy and some webspace with php to upload it to. Search google for free webspace php and you should find some hosts that allow you to use php and upload your web proxy to them.

    You can alternativly use a cgi web proxy which needs a webspace with cgi enabled.

    Web Proxy List:

    Please not that the list does not display if the webproxy is able to handle scripts, I did not find a reliable way to make a test for all languages out there, therefor this has not been added to the list. I also removed websites that loaded slowly, displayed errors or forced you to click on an ad before you could use the service.

    It is most likely that the name "proxy" might have been banned as well, try using web proxys that do not have proxy i their url, this might help.
