Reboot machine, using "shutdown -r" instruction cause damage CMOS. After CPU restart I have a note, that "CMOS checksum failed, defaults loaded". The Windows95, Ms-DOS and compaq Setup diskette are reboot computer normaly, without cause damege to CMOS. Then CMOS resets to defaults, setting for date/time and  periphery ara stay good, but other such as: "Non-dos partition" option set are loaded from defaults.
