How do I fix checksum error?

[Janviii]

I am facing the "Checksum Error", does anyone know how to fix this frustrating issue?

A checksum error can be solved by stopping your PC, pressing the appropriate key like Del or F2 to enter the BIOS and saving the changes. Once you are in, pick the main settings on the screen, press save and leave the game room. If the problem keeps happening, switch off the PC and leave the CMOS battery out for a couple of minutes and put it back in afterward using a new battery. This changes all the settings in the BIOS to their default values. In cases where the problem does not fix, a broken motherboard might be the reason, so professional help is recommended.

To fix a checksum error, first re-download the file, as it may be corrupted. If it’s a compressed file (like ZIP or RAR), try using a different extraction tool. For system errors, run a memory test and check your hard drive for errors using tools like CHKDSK. Replacing faulty RAM or drives may be necessary.

Checksum error usually means a file got messed up — maybe during download or copy.

Here’s what to do:

1. Re-download the file — that fixes it most of the time.
2. If it’s a zip or rar file, try extracting it with a different tool (like 7-Zip).
3. If you’re installing something from a CD/DVD, clean the disc and try again.

Still doesn’t work? The file might just be corrupted — try getting it from a different source.

To fix a checksum error, first re-download or re-extract the file, as it may be corrupted. If it's from a compressed archive (like ZIP or RAR), use tools like WinRAR or 7-Zip to repair it. Also, check your disk for errors and run antivirus scans.
