Got a strange problem with the computer which is happend twice now.
i'm working away on the coputer when all of sudden I get the blue screen (Not on long enough to write down the error) after a few secconds it restarts the computer only the PC even fails to POST.
Now i've worked out the reason it fails to post is because i've got 4 gig of ram.
when I first upgraded to 4 gig it also failed to post turned out I had to updated the BIOS and then the 4 gig was accepted.
So based on that i've found that for some reason when i'm getting these blue screens and the computer restarts the BIOS is getting reset to the factory defaults.
Any ideas what could be causing this? is the battery on the motherboard low? or could something else cause this?
Mobo is about 2-3 years old.
