Ok I just installed a new video card and a new stick of RAM which is so great
but when i turn on my computer it said
my
CPU clock speed had change or something like that
and I need to change it in MMOS or something
so i ask on other forum it said to take out the CMOS battery
and replace it after 5min.
%26lt;b%26gt;1%26lt;/b%26gt; Ok so last night I found where the battery is but i was wondering how do I take it out? it so hard no matter how much i keep pulling it up it won%26#039;t budge (I%26#039;m not good with computer)
and I search on here about it and i saw a question that said that after they replacing the battery the comp. ask for their password or something like that
i was wondering does this always happen after removing the battery
because i don%26#039;t know my password accept when log in on my profile|||Hi. The term you mean, I think, is BIOS. This is where you control your clock speed and other things. To remove the battery (which may not be necessary!) use a small screwdriver to pry up the end opposite the upper contact. Other wise just hit %26quot;Delete%26quot; when you computer is booting to get in and modify your BIOS settings. Use the defaults.|||replacing the cmos battery. usually ther is a clip like spring that with a small scre driver you can push right on the side and the battery will pop right out. the battery actually sits in side a case and u dont want to pull that off, when u put the new battery in it will just snap in. but by removing the battery it resets all cmos/bios so then at start up u have to go in and reset the bios, ive changed a couple and had no problem in the past but i just changed 1 in my ibm and for the life of me it will not let me change the bios. so im stuck taking it to the shop! oggd luck!!|||okay first after u re-place your battery u will need to probably re-set your bios there is a 3 pin jumper directly over or close to your battery it will say cmos , now after u put in a new battery look at the position of your jumper it should be covering the first 2 pins ( 1 and 2 ) carefully take it off and slip it over pins ( 2 and 3 ) leave it on there for a few seconds then slip it off and put it back over pins 1 and 2 , after u do that u will need to reset your boot sequence and your clock in your bios ( if u have a internet connection u can right click on your time in the task bar click on adjust time and date then click on internet time and click update this will automatically set your time and date ).To get to your bios tap delete while your pc boots up and it will take u too your bios , all bios screens look different but there should be a sub tab that lets u set your boot sequence set your cd or dvd rom ( whichever u have ) to first priority then set your primary hard drive as second and floppy as third ( if u have one ) ,save the changes and if u did it correctly it will reboot to your primary hard drive and then u can set your time threw internet , and go back to your bios and set anything u had set before like if u overclock for instance but i assume if u know how to overclock then u will know how to do this any ways if u dont then your bios will automatically set everythign to default or auto .............Good luck !!

What is Floppy disk(s) fail (40), keyboard error or no keyboard present and CMOS checksum error - defaults ?
I am trying to revive my pentium III computer with asus CUV4X C motherboard. how can i fix this problem. I have tried changing the battery and installed a brand new keyboard but it still doesn%26#039;t work.
What can i do to fix this? Help me please!|||Wow, If you got all of these errors at the same time then something isn%26#039;t right.
But error 40 is floppy disk failure. It means that for some reason the computer can%26#039;t find your 3.5%26quot; floppy drive (usually %26quot;A:%26quot;) or it isn%26#039;t responding correctly when your computer tries to access it during boot-up. This can happen because there is something wrong with your floppy drive, something is causing your computer not to detect it (such as a burned out controller, cable or faulty motherboard), or that you simply don%26#039;t have one. Check your floppy cables and connections first to ensure that they are connected properly, if they are then you may have a burned out controller on your motherboard, a bad floppy cable or drive, or your motherboard may be faulty. If you don%26#039;t have one you can disable the message in your computers BIOS. To get to the BIOS screen, during boot up at the bottom of the screen it will say something like %26quot;press F2 for setup%26quot; or something along those lines. That will take you to the BIOS screen. In the settings there should be options like first boot device, second boot device, and so on... change the one that say 3.5 floppy to something else such as your CD rom (or if you already have one like that just set it to nothing or disable). That will get rid of that message.
Keyboard error or no keyboard present shows up when your computer can%26#039;t find your keyboard or there is something wrong with it. You said you%26#039;ve already bought a new keyboard, so chances are that either you motherboard is faulty or the keyboard controller or port is bad.
CMOS checksum error is usually caused by a dead CMOS battery, but you said your already replaced that... The only other reasons usually are motherboard issues or a virus changed your BIOS settings...
Lets see, we got 3 out of 3. I would say that you have a defective motherboard. (Or a fried one) Make sure when handling a motherboard (or any hardware) to make sure that you are properly grounded because static electricity can kill computer parts, including the motherboard. Also, incorrectly installing a motherboard or the wrong size or type of motherboard can cause a short circuit in some types of cases, especially those that have raised holes. Make sure that you are using plastic or rubber guards when installing a motherboard to prevent this short, and use the correct screws and thier guards to prevent them from shorting the motherboard.
Hope some of this helps,
-Andy|||I have had all these errors before, The floppy disk(s) fail 40 error probably means you need a new floppy drive (Try eBay). With no keyboard present, try a new keyboard, if that fails, it may be a problem with the jack. CMOS checksum error means you need a new CMOS battery. If that does not work, you have either been ripped-off with a dead one, or it is a dud. It also may not be pluged in properly. Hope this helps!

Where can I find, or how can I work out my BIOS settings ( flat CMOS battery)?
I lost my PC BIOS settings. The PC is an AriesPowerXS 6505. By changing PATA to SATA it boots up, most works ok except sound is intermittent, and games such as counterstike crash the pc with horrible graphics problems. (card is ATI Radeon 9550)
Any ideas where to get the full BIOS settings from?|||Most stable CMOS setting is %26quot;Fail-safe defaults%26quot;. Use that as starting point then tweak settings one at a time.
With regard to graphics, update the driver and clean up Windows%26#039; registry.|||do you mean you lost your motherboard%26#039;s CMOS battery? well you can just buy a new one at computer stores. regarding with the sound what problem are you experiencing when you say intermittent? try updating your drivers. and also with your graphics problems, also try updating its driver. if it still crashes, maybe the graphic card itself is defective.

How do I fix BIOS ROM checksum error?
I’m really pissed off by my desktop computer. Damn it!
I can only use it sometimes because it often won’t turn on successfully. I displays an error message:
Award BootBlock Bios v1.0
Copyright © 2000, Award Software, Inc.
BIOS ROM Checksum error
Detecting floppy drive A media…
DISK BOOT FAILUR, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER-
The history of how it’s getting worse is found below followed by the questions.
Eight months ago – My computer turns on normally and shows error message every time I restart it. I have to wait for 10-15 minutes before I can turn it on again after the attempt of restarting it.
Five months ago – The time I have to wait has gotten longer. I have to wait for more than 15 minutes.
Two months ago - My computer does not turn on often. It’s because when I want to turn it on, it always display the error message. But sometimes, I can- but only by luck!
A month ago – I have researched for some treatments. And one of which is changing the CMOS battery, so, I did replace it. But it stays the same. I can hardly turn it on.
Now – I never turned it on again. But I once got into the BIOS Settings then the “CPU External Frequency” was highlighted. The figures were: 133/33(the first on the list)
Now here are my questions:
~ Is the problem hardware or software?
~Does the “CPU External Frequency” have something to do with it?
~I’m planning to reformat my computer ASAP. Will that solve the problem?
Note: My motherboard is ASUS X Series motherboard. (Maybe it would help)
Sorry for that long question and I hope you would help me.

My computer runs very slow and its clock is behind?
My computer runs very slow and its clock is behind?
Hi all Just a few days ago I sent a question here asking how I could get a free software antivirus to replace one(McAfee) I had on my computer(Dell Inspiron 1501 Windows Vista) before which was about to expire. I installed both Avast Home Edition and PC tools Firewall on my computer. But my computer started running slower than before and although I have made all I know to set its clock on time now after a week it is already 2 minutes behind the actual time. What is the purpose of an antivirus/firewall software if it makes you computer run at snail%26#039;s pace every time you tun your computer on? Even while I am typing this text at times the pointer disappears and I can%26#039;t not longer see the chararacters on the screen. When I click on an item( weblink a window or icon) it takes a long time for the action to be performed. As for the clock I have tried almost everything I was told to: I have sent the computer back to Dell and they changed the CMOS battery, after I spent hours on the phone with their skillfull and kind technicians to fix that problem I have connected to a time server, I have set manually my computer on time from the toolbar etc. Still, the computer runs behind everytime I switch it off and turn it on later. In response to my previous question someone told me I might be infected by a malware, but how could I know which one it is and get rid of that without having to format my hard disk. Many thanks to all beforehand|||Everyone knows that Windows computers can sometimes slow down over time. While not an exhaustive list of solutions to problems, this collection presents some ways to speed up a computer.
1. De-Fragmenting
Over time, the data on your hard drive gets scattered. Defragmenting your hard drive puts your data back into sequential order, making it easier for Windows to access it. As a result, the performance of your computer will improve.
a) Right click of C Disk.
b) Click properties.
c) Click tools tab.
d) Click %26quot;Defragment now%26quot;.
e) Click Defragment.
2. Uninstall Unneeded Programs
Removing programs that you no longer use can free up space on your computer and speed up your system%26#039;s performance. However, you need to uninstall the programs properly to see much improvement; deleting them is not enough.
3. Stop Programs from starting on Windows boot
One way you can speed up your computer is to prevent programs from launching themselves at start-up. Not only do the unwanted programs delay the start of Windows, they also continue to slow down your computer since they use system resources.
a) Open your Start menu.
b) Click Run
c) In the command screen type %26quot;msconfig.exe%26quot;
d) In the %26quot;system configuration utility%26quot;, click either %26quot;service%26quot; or %26quot;startup%26quot; tab
e) Uncheck all programs that you are no longer using.
f) Click %26quot;OK%26quot;
4. Check for Spyware and Adware
Spyware is software that allows companies to monitor what websites you visit or even access your computer. Adware is software that displays advertisements. Both use system resources and slow your computer down. Detecting and removing the programs will improve system performance.

Hi all,
I have been experiencing that issue for a long time now. I bought my computer( a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows Vista as Operating System) a bit more than a year ago. I called the Dell Support Team several times and through the phone I followed all the instructions I was being told, but the problem remained. Since my laptop was still under guarantee I sent it back to Dell and they changed the CMOS battery and allegedly made all the necessary verifications according to the checklist they sent me back along with the laptop. Still, after that I encountered the same issue. I called once more and they fixed the problem. Everything went well for a few days as usual. But thereafter theproblem occured again until now. I am tired to call Dell and spent lenghty minutes on my cell phone for the same issue. Can someone tell me how to fix that once and for all?
P.S My laptop clock is behind for about 14 minutes. The CMOs has been changed|||hmmm maybe you could %26#039;adjust time/date settings%26#039; in the toolbar? have you tried that before?|||Your PC is infected with malware, and this is EXACTLY what is changing you clock settings.

How can I fix my computer?(won't boot past the Post screen & can't access BIOS)?
OKAY.. I think this Question is DETAILED enough..since my last one wasn%26#039;t. if you don%26#039;t wanna read all this..there is a very fast explanation on the very bottom of this %26quot;novel%26quot; titled %26quot;Short and to the Point%26quot;.
PC Story/symptoms:
I was getting the %26quot;nvlddmkm%26quot; error along with the %26quot;Display adapter crash%26quot; error a few days ago. I called the manufacturer of my Graphics card and they sent me an e-mail along with trouble shooting remedies. I tried all the remedies they sent me and nothing seemed to work. So i took out my Graphics card and thats when i ran into problems.My PC will now not boot correctly. Can%26#039;t enter BIOS or Safe modes. It is not due to a virus either(already ruled that out). I am open to any other advice/input now..thank GOD I saved and backed up all my files b4 this all happened. I am so ready to just throw this PC away.
PS%26gt; I have attached photos also..have a looky-loo...and THX in advance for your time/patience/understanding/prayers/crit鈥?etc..

Trouble shooting methods I have tried but have failed are:(without Nvidia Graphics card Graphics card installed);
-Made sure power to my house was on..bill was paid and current.
-Made sure I am capable of reading and writing in English.
-Removed Nvidia Graphic Card from CPU case aka uninstalled.
-Made sure all my cables/wires are plugged in properly and in their correct ports,yes,even the -Monitor is installed correctly.
-Made sure RAM cards were in and secure.
-Turned on Power to my PC:

-Checked fans are running properly(even dusted them correctly before I started the pc)
-Turned on monitor(which is connected properly to PC via display/VGA cord).
-Hit delete and Tab buttons as suggested to enter Bios-didn%26#039;t work(keyboard is new and installed correctly to pc).
-Turned off PC.
-Took out Battery for 10-15 minutes(battery is not old or defective)
-Tried clearing/resetting/jumping CMOS.
-Re-installed battery.
-Booted PC
-CMOS/Battery remedy didn%26#039;t work..computer still stuck on Post screen:
http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab334鈥?/a>
-Delete/Tab keys still don%26#039;t work, can not enter BIOS.
Remedies I have tried with Nvidia Card installed but didn%26#039;t work either are:

What do I do to fix this(may want to read what I have already tried area of this question)?|||Remove any plugin cards you don%26#039;t need to boot such as a network card. Reseat everything such as power supply connections, drive connections, and your RAM modules. Now, try booting again and use your %26quot;old%26quot; keyboard.
PC Story/symptoms:
I was getting the %26quot;nvlddmkm%26quot; error along with the %26quot;Display adapter crash%26quot; error a few days ago. I called the manufacturer of my Graphics card and they sent me an e-mail along with trouble shooting remedies. I tried all the remedies they sent me and nothing seemed to work. So i took out my Graphics card and thats when i ran into problems.My PC will now not boot correctly. Can%26#039;t enter BIOS or Safe modes. It is not due to a virus either(already ruled that out). I am open to any other advice/input now..thank GOD I saved and backed up all my files b4 this all happened. I am so ready to just throw this PC away.
PS%26gt; I have attached photos also..have a looky-loo...and THX in advance for your time/patience/understanding/prayers/crit鈥?etc..
