CMOS settings

[Geoff A.]

Hi,
When I start up my PC, I get the error messages:
CMOS settings wrong
Cmos memory size wrong
Press F1 to run setup

So I go through the process of correcting the clock and everything starts up
normally. But then the exact same thing happens the next time I start up my
PC.

Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Geoff.

Turn off the computer.
Open it up.
Find the battery on the mainboard.
Take it with you to a store to get a new one.
Bring it back home and install it.
Close the computer.
Turn on the computer.
Go into the BIOS and set it up.

Let us know...

Cheers Shenan. Who'd have thought it would be so simple!
