Nah, dosent sound like a HD problem. Besides the checksum error occurs before the BIOS accesses the HD for the first time. The CPU changed sounds like BIOS isnt storing data properly, Which means the BIOS battery is dead. The time store is the first to be effected by this - I think this is deliberate so the problem shows up soonest - and as was said, cr2032s are cheap.

Its odd though, a BIOS battery usualy lasts about 5 years - longer than the life of most mobos anyway. Ive only seen one die once, and that board had a short in the battery circuit.
