Bios flash screen
I have an A600v that has worked fine the last 3 years. Today I did a reboot
after doing a registry defrag and it hung on the bios flash screen. I could not get it to do anything. I did a couple of more reboots and the same thing. I powered it off for about 10 minutes and tried it again and everything is fine now. Is this a concern? I am wondering if the cmos is about to go. Thanks in advance. Brian in MI |

I am wondering if the cmos is about to go. You could try fitting a new battery for it. Look for the large slim Lithium one on the motherboard. I don't know your particular motherboard, but I think that my advice still holds good. Thanks in advance. Brian in MI |
