When I turn the computer on a checksum error 101 comes up
asking me to press F1 to continue.
Pressing F1 allows normal start up.
It didnt use to come up with the error message.
How do I correct it?
 
Is this comming from the Windows boot-up or the bios (when you first
turn on, before Windows starts to boot)?

It sounds like a bios warning, in which case it would seem to be
either the memory is suspect or you have the bios setup wrong (testing
for a checksum on non-checksum memory).
