Because you have the option 'logo' deselected :-) (It's either one of two: logo or technical data. If you insist on a black screen, you need to save a black screen as 'logo'. I wouldn't advice that to an end user though.) -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok |

If I understand your problem correctly, the bios setup screen will come up when any designated hardware item is not correctly set. This could be the HD parameters, the floppy type, or most any such device. See if ALL your items are set correctly. |

Let me rephrase the question, what hardware errors or software problems (corrupted or virus infected executables) could cause the BIOS setup screen to always come up? Now you make it realy difficult :-) Basically, switching between logo and text is controlled by a bit in the cmos configuration data. (Which actually is kept in eeprom in modern computers.) That bit can be set or reset via the BIOS settings (almost always) and by means of a BIOS control program (as used by repair engineers.) If you are talking about the INTEL motherbord, I suggest you enable 'silent boot' under the 'boot' section in the BIOS. -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok |

Halting on errors depends on what the bios considers an error. Two of the most common are keyboard or disk related and you may have a setting in the bios to determine if it halts on any and/or all errors. Enter the bios menu and see if it has kept the correct time. If not, set to the correct time. Either way even if you made no changes, exit the bios _saving_ changes... then see if it still stops at that screen. Perhaps a good question would be what you have changed since the last time the bios checks finished without stopping and entering the bios menu? |

I have not intentionally changed anything at all. If you have a PS/2 keyboard failure, the BIOS will halt. On my oldest computer, setting the BIOS to "Halt On" [No error] disables the halting function, so that the BIOS will not get stuck if the keyboard is missing. If you have a working keyboard that the BIOS can get input from, then you'd be able to try that setting. On my BIOS, the [No error] thing is not the default. If I were to clear the CMOS, then I'd get stuck on the keyboard check again (assuming my keyboard was broken/non-functional/missing). Other halting functions can be based on the hardware monitor chip. A wrong voltage, temperature, or a fan operating at low RPMs, may be a reason to halt and prompt the user to press F1 or whatever. On one of my machines where that happens all the time, the BIOS doesn't say what the problem is - it just halts, and expects the user to use a crystal ball to figure out what the problem might be. There is no text prompt on the screen saying "your power supply fan speed is slightly less than 1800 RPM". Paul |

"Peter Olcott" wrote in message ... Intel desktop motherboard D865GBF, my bios setup screen now always comes up, why would this be? Normall, the bios screen would always come up prior to the OS loading. If the machine loads the OS allright and your date and time are OK... then there is nothing to worry about. However...if you need to reset the bios each time and your date and time are lost... then your CMOS battery is dead |
