CMOS checksum error

hey CEans,

i have recently got a new Seagate 160GB hdd and 512MB RAM. Am loving my PC these days but there is a little trouble. At the time of booting i get this error- CMOS checksum error-defaults loaded.
Did a bit of search and found out that the possible reason is that my CMOS battery is out now but this is only a probability while there could be other reasons also which i couldnt get.
And every time i start my system the system date is reset to 01-01-2002 because the changes that i make to the date arent reflected in the BIOS because of CMOS failure.

now can anyone tel me that how can i find out the exact reason for this CMOS checksum failure.

    1- Type in the right values and save it.
    2- If it goes wrong, try replacing the Battery
    3- There is a missing or wrong placed or (should be removed) Jumper**
    4- If all wrong, reload the BIOS firmware to the chip (In some computer shop or something)

    **Check your motherboard manual for BIOS/CMOS options
