Computer will not boot

[Guest]

When trying to turn on the computer the screen goes to an error screen. If I
try to use a boot disc or diagnostic disc that came with the computer the
screen goes black and then nothing happens... ever. I thought the hard drive
could be messed up, but I dont know. Thank you in advance for any help. The
message that appears is...

Although you posted your question in a Windows newsgroup,
your problem most likely related to your BIOS and not to
Windows. Press the Delete key when prompted, then look for
the menu item that lets you load the BIOS factory values.
Now press the key to save your settings (it's often F10),
then reboot the machine.

You might have to replace the motherboard battery to
fix the problem permanently.

If you need more detailed instructions, try posting in a
hardware newsgroup.
