Hi Terry,
Not without taking the battery out and measuring it with a
volt meter. But after 4 years, there's a better than 50%
chance it is the battery anyway.
George.

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.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] boot up problem
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
