This is because the CMOS battery has gone bad and so the CMOS chip doesn't
remember the computer configuration (speed of the bus or the CPU frequency
setup) . You need to change the CMOS battery, usually numbered CR2032.

My PC frequently fails to bootup.
When the bootup fails, the red LED ,which indicates hard disk, remains
solid.
It takes more than 20 times reboot to start the computer successfully.
Once it can be booted, the BIOS setup utility always complains either
the speed of the bus is not set correctly or the CPU frequency setup.
I always ignore and save the previous setup. It can restart
successfully.
What is the main cause of this problem?
How to fix it?
Thanx

If it is the battery, that's a cheap fix, just a few dollars at Wal-Mart. Be careful
removing the old battery. You wouldn't want to crack the motherboard. Take the old
battery with you, because sometimes old battery model numbers are superceded by new ones
of the same size and voltage.

Sounds like your disk is full.

Have you done the disk cleanup and defragmentation?

Whatever it is, it's affecting your clock too. Please fix. It's not yet
10:34am on the 23rd, here in the UK, and that's what yours is showing...

Fix your time and re-post your message. I'm not going to address a question
posted hours in the future.

Didn't you just address the question in a way by simply replying at all.

No, I didn't address the question, I didn't even read the question.

My bad. Now I can see that the time being off was actually a clue to solving
the problem. If I had read the question instead of being annoyed at the
wrong time I would have seen it as Abhilash did. Live and learn.
