| 574309 | 2007-07-30 08:14:00 | put my computer on standby this morning when I rushed out and later tried to wake it up after I got home half the time this doesn't work so I was ready to restart anyway but then some weird alarm went off, from the case speakers I knew this wasn't the CPU overheating because the alarm is different... so after the usual restart, I noticed POST codes displaying..um.. I thought I never turned that on.. then there's this message saying how my CMOS check failed and default settings now used quickly went into bios and changed the settings back to what I had before and luckily now my computer works fine so.. anyone experienced this or know the cause of it? I don't really want this to happen again.. |

The CMOS CR2032 battery is not a rechargeable battery. Never has been. Only very old 286 PC's and earlier had NiCd rechargeable CMOS backup batteries. New World Supermarket battery display racks have them a few $ cheaper than DSE. |
