CMOS battery is nearing end of life.<\/p>\n<p>The CMOS battery is a small, lithium battery that is used to power the CMOS memory chip on the motherboard. The CMOS memory chip stores the BIOS settings, such as the date, time, and hard drive configuration. If the CMOS battery is low or dead, the BIOS settings will be lost and the computer will not be able to boot up.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A. A bad power supply would prevent the computer from turning on at all.<\/li>\n<li>B. A BIOS update is not necessary to fix a CMOS checksum error.<\/li>\n<li>D. Hard drive types are not stored in the CMOS memory chip.<\/li>\n<li>E.
