Quick question, about Cmos

lynchy6789 · 9 May 2009 at 13:53

Hi,

On our family computer when we turn it on we are going this message below on the part that displays PC components

" Warning! Now system in safe mode Please Re-setting CPU frequency in CMOS setting"

You have the option F1 to continue and if done so PC works fine or Delete to enter Bios.

The system is an old amd 3700 (All at stock) setup but its only used for msm, internet and itunes so does it job fine.

Anyone got any solutions how to resolve this problem?

Does the Windows clock reset itself every time you boot? Sounds like the bios battery might be dead.

Press delete

Look for load defaults and save and exit.

If it comes back after switching the machine off and back on it will need a new battery.

They are the 3.3volt watch style ones

I will just go and check now. The computer is about 5 years old now and is on at least 4-6 hours everyday

Load optimised defaults sound right?

or load fail safe defaults?

The clock is telling the right time
