    CMOS battery

    Turn your system off by the PSU and if the bios forgets the settings chances are it's the cmos battery, battery normally last years a long time as the psu is typically left on and no they are not normally rechargeable.

    CMOS checksum error or CMOS battery loss

    First step, I would do a CMOS reset. Power off PC, Disconnect the AC power cord, Press the power button for 10 seconds to drain any residual power. Open the case and locate the CR2032 coin cell battery on the motherboard. Remove it for 5 minutes. If you have a new battery I would install that instead of the old one (they usually last 5 years but with the problem, replace the battery). After about 5 minutes install the battery. Connect AC power cord, power on and see it this clears it.

    Does CMOS battery make an important role?

    This means the CMOS battery has failed - you need to purchase a new CMOS battery. As suggested by another expert you should upgrade your BIOS and then do the CMOS battery replacement and this should stop it.
