CPU settings

shug119

Hi when I boot up I get a warning message.
CPU or CPU ratio has changed.
Please re-enter CPU settings in the set up.

I can press F1 and windows starts ok.
How do I fix this problem.
Cheers.

have you tired removing the Cmos battery for a few minutes and then putting it back in and booting up... ??

which motherboard do you have (or what make model Pc)

More than likely the battery itself is dead,you can get them easy enough and they are a doddle to fit

I have a dell Pen4 pc. I had to get a new motherboard installed. Its a Jetway P4MDPT. Local shop installed it.
Where is the battery located.

on the motherboard



the one marked "SONY" in this picture for example

If it's that new I'd guess the battery is OK, but the CMOS settings might have been screwed up by a power surge or something; I've occasionally had PCs forget their settings before. Have you tried resetting the CPU options in the BIOS setup and seeing if they stay there next time you reboot?

Dont try and flame if you cant see the answer its not my fault that you didnt read the posts properly, as said REMOVE THE BATTERY or REPLACE

Now if you have difficulty reading that then go to specsavers.

I am very decent I have clean pants on as I type
