Hi George

The pc was bought about 4 years ago.  Is there anyway of checking whether the 
battery is at fault?

Thanks for your response
Terry

  Hi Terry,

  How old is the system?  If it's over say 3 years old, it's possible the CMOS 
battery on the motherboard is past its sell by date, and so not keeping the 
BIOS settings.

    hi 

    Would Any of you have any idea why the following is happening?

    My pc no longer boots up as normal, it seems to just go round in circles a 
lot.  Virtually every time I turn it on, I have to get sighted assistance to go 
into the bias.  The pc continuously wants to boot from the floppy drive.  I 
have to click onto c drive, come out of the bias, then allow it to continue.

    A secondary problem is, that it is suddenly rebooting itself as well.

    JFW6, xp pro, avg with up to date virus definitions and cygate.

    Any ideas welcome.

    Terry
