You've got a defective motherboard. That's not surprising at all,
considering that it is made by pcchips, which has a terrible reputation for
reliability. There is no help for that other than to replace the
motherboard with a different brand of motherboard. I think the following
should work fine. -Dave

Maybe you can go in to the BIOS and set it to default or failsafe. But it
doesn't look good.

These ECS boards are well known to have bios checksum error when you first
boot them - usually you just go into the BIOS and set optimal defaults and
all is fine. However they are more famous for being very fussy about memory
chips - Samsung chips for example will often prevent booting. I would try to
borrow some different memory to try on the board before you chuck it out the
window. Crucial PC3200 works fine.
P.S. Stating the obvious I know, but make sure keyboard and mouse PS/2 plugs
are the right way round!
