The wireless thing is also very strange, possibly wireless interference, try F1.

I've pressed F1...

All sorts have come up, and I'm not too sure what to do next...

set defaults and save settings, post what happens after a reboot (leave switched on at the mains, and switch)

I've done that huns, and have now got a message saying...

"Load optimized settings
press enter to contine or esc to abort"

Not too sure what to do next.
Can I just say that you are an absolute angel ... :A for trying to help with my problem... :beer: xxx

It's an unusual set of problems, so am a bit in the dark at the moment - my best guess is that a new cmos battery might help if the pc is losing bios settings when you power off.

I've just done that, and am not too sure what to do now.

if you are still in the bios screen, there is usually a button to press, or a menu item to arrow key to, to save settings and reboot.

I have an option to Save & Exit Setup.

Could that be the one?

Or F9 Setup Defaults.

try one, if it doesn't work, repeat and try the other, just don't switch it off at the switch - you can't do any damage, so it's a matter of trying things until it hopefully starts to boot

I've just done that and all is looking possitive ATM... :beer:

PLEASE... do not delete your posts on this, as it may serve to help many other people.

You are a really super person huns xxx


Many many thanks ... :beer:

If you are prepared to spend a couple of quid, pop out and get a new battery - you'll have to look on the motherboard to check the model number, available at your local curry's/comet/pc world (none of which are the cheapest), and do that backup.

The whole usb/keyboard/wireless thing is still a little confusing - so see what happens, and post any issues.

I've just done a wiki search on motherboard, as I honestly didn't have a clue as to what it was...

Bless you and Many thanks... :beer:

I'm going to log off on the Laptop now and try to sign on to the PC...
