Hi,
Try the following:
1. Reset BIOS to defaults, ensure relevant settings are applied.
2. May need to upgrade BIOS firmware, even four years ago a lot of the
settings are saved in flash and not battery backed CMOS ram, the you can either
use a jumper to clear the flash or upgrade the bios using the clear CMOS/PRAM
options if the data in there gets dammaged for some reason.
3. Replace CMOS battery.
Andrew.

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
