Common Motherboard Messages Your motherboard, depending on the model, can display a variety of messages which may be quite innocent or indicate a more serious problem: 1. “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR” - This can indicate that the CMOS battery on your motherboard (looks like a large watch battery) is no longer functional, or that the CMOS has become corrupt. The solution is to replace the CMOS battery. 2. “CPU fan error.
