Oh shit -
For the first time, when booting, I got some sort of CMOS checksum error. I rebooted twice, got the same error. It gave me an option to hit f1 to continue and this post proves that all seems ok. For now. How fucked am I? Is there something I need to do, or is my 4 year old Hypersonic PC finally giving out?

Probably not bad, you may need to replace your 3.3V battery.

Good to hear...makes sense too, after 4 years. I'll try that coz I think I can find it and I'm sure it's cheap.

Like everyone else said, replace your motherboard battery, and you'll get fixed right up. However, after 4 years, you should consider a replacement.
