CMOS checksum error. (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000237.htm)
If none of those apply, then perhaps a virus [on the HDD?] is changing/corrupting your BIOS's configuration settings held in the CMOS.

Perhaps you should have your software checked for infection at the "Applications and Security" forum?

Or else you could reset your BIOS settings, then [for some days] only boot/use Knoppix from a live CD [don't boot the HDD or any possibly infected floppies] to see whether the problem doesn't return whilst doing that.
