I have to press the reset button 4-5 times before it will boot into Windows XP.

796462 2009-07-30 03:14:00 Same, here. however does it boot into bios for you?!?! It doesn't for me. PCT Joe (15018)
796463 2009-07-30 03:19:00 No when it does finally boot comes up with an option to enter the BIOS setup or continue startup by pressing F1. convair (13650)

796465 2009-07-30 03:26:00 Yeah mine comes up with that overclocking error. convair (13650)
796466 2009-07-30 04:05:00 Reset it to setup defaults. Blam (54)
796467 2009-07-30 05:41:00 Reset it to setup defaults. :thumbs:

AND sometimes a CMOS Battery can cause those error messages - change that as well.

796468 2009-07-30 08:45:00 I have reset the defaults and removed the CMOS battery and put in again. Any idea how it will cost to replace the CMOS battery? convair (13650)
