Default 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.

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.
