| 444218 | 2006-04-05 20:23:00 | Hi guys, new member Whenever I start my computer, it switches to a black screen that i've never seen before and says: CPU has been Changed, or CPU Ratio Fail. Please Enter setup, and don't forget to save before you exit I tried running Windows 2000 setup, and it saves the settings, but it still keeps coming up Any ideas? |

| 444220 | 2006-04-05 20:45:00 | Welcome to PressF1 That message indicates your BIOS CPU settings need re-setting. To get into your BIOS, you will see a brief message as your computer first starts up to press a key to enter SETUP. Most commonly, that key is the DEL key. Try tapping that key when you see that message. You need to navigate to the CPU section of the BIOS (may be under Advanced). Depending upon your BIOS brand/version, you may see a key for "Setup Defaults". Push that, and then the option to Save and Exit. Select Yes to save your changes if you are asked again. If your computer is a couple of years old, you may wish to consider replacing your CMOS battery on the motherboard. It is a small round flat battery clipped in a holder on the motherboard somewhere. You should be able to buy a replacement battery at the supermarket. If you require more specific instructions on changing your BIOS settings, then post back with your motherboard make and model. :) |
