cmos issue
Every time I disconnect my Compaq Presario 8000T from AC power, two
problems happen. One, as soon as I reconnect it to the outlet, the computer turns on without waiting for me to press the power button. Second, I get a message that says "Default BIOS settings have been loaded due to BIOS update or checksum issue. CMOS Date/TIme Not Set. Press F1 for setup, F2 to continue." It continues after a few seconds, but at that point all the BIOS settings have been reset to defaults including the date/time. I tried pulling out the CMOS battery and then putting it back in after a few minutes. Everything seemed to work fine after that. I reconeected the computer and it didn't turn on till I pressed the power button. Then I didn't get the above message. I then made a change to the computer (connected another drive) then the problem repeated itself. I suspect it's a problem with the CMOS batter. I just wanted to get some confirmation from others. Thanks |
