Both problems are BIOS problems and not related to Windows. The ESCD is
an area of memory (in the BIOS) that stores PnP information and is
accessed by both Windows and the BIOS at every boot.

You will need to consult your user's manual of the motherboard, or the
motherboard manufacturer's web site.

You might consider a new battery (if the MoBo is old) or you might need to
flash the BIOS.

Good luck,
