| 849062 | 2010-01-15 20:30:00 | Hi All, When I turn on my computer, I get the following message at startup: Warning! CPU has been changed, or CPU Ratio changed fail. Please re-enter CPU settings in the CMOS setup and remember to save before quit! The ratio is and always has been 133x21.0. Another strange thing is that if I highlight the Load high performance defaults, the description is After Enable This Item Failed, Please Clear CMOS. I have cleared the CMOS and nothing's happened. My motherboard model is a MSI MS-6787 if that's any help. |

| 849063 | 2010-01-15 20:39:00 | Try loading safe defaults. | trinsic (6945) | ||
| 849064 | 2010-01-15 21:04:00 | If the board is over three or four years old it is likely you will want a new CMOS battery. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 849065 | 2010-01-15 21:53:00 | OK it doesn't have a safe defaults option. I'm sure the battery's not flat because it keeps the time but I will replace it anyway. | bot (15449) | ||
| 849066 | 2010-01-15 22:03:00 | So when you say you cleared the CMOS, did you have the power unplugged then removed the battery and set the clear CMOS jumper? just checking because if the power is connected it will not reset. Also is your BIOS up to date? |

| 849068 | 2010-01-16 04:03:00 | I tried to flash the bios. The BIOS updater said "File size does not match!" but I still said yes. Then it went onto the update screen. About half and hour later, there weren't any write ok marks so I turned it off. I then found out that the bios version was the same as the one I was trying to update. I unplugged the power, and removed the battery for a minute then stuck it back in. | bot (15449) | ||
| 849069 | 2010-01-16 05:46:00 | Hi Helensun Seems like there is some stuff up in your Bios. Access your Bios Setup, PRESS F1, (pun intended!!), :punk :lol:, (or whatever it takes on your computer), after boot. Restore the Bios Defaults, (:groan: the option must be there somewhere!! :groan:). Don't forget to save the changes!! Exit and reboot. If you can't find the Bios Defaults, let us know the make and model of your computer. The Press F1 Crew might be able to provide further help. BURNZEE |

| 849070 | 2010-01-16 06:11:00 | When in the BIOS look down the bottom instead of the menu at the top. Is there an option to press F5 for default settings? |

| 849071 | 2010-01-16 20:56:00 | It's award bios so i assume the key is F5. The motherboard is a MSI 6787(AKA P4MAM-L) and the bios version is 2.1. Here is a link to the website: www.msi.com |
