BIOS Help Please

[Camerashy1]

My PCS computer is about 8 years old and when I turn it on I get the following message

Please enter Setup to recover BIOS setting
CMOS Date/Time Not Set
Press F1 to Run SETUP
Press F2 to load default values and continue

I press F2 to continue and it takes ages to load
It has been mentioned to me that the battery needs replacing is it that simple or could there be more issues
Appreciate any one’s help thanks

That would mean you’re not logging on with the account you ordered with, you’d need to contact PCS to get your account restored

SpyderTracks - that makes perfect sense, as I have just registered again after being away from the Forum for a number of year……thanks

It’s not the forum login, it’s a totally separate website with different username and password

Have you tried hitting F2

 

[Camerashy1]
