Bios not starting on power on/restart
hi all :)
need a little advice on when the machine is turned on there is no output from the bios to start the boot-up process its happened about 4 times in the last month the fans/lights are running in the machine so its powering up ok just no BEEP and boot up it has done it today on a normal restart after updating some programs (urging me to post it in this thread) so i power off the machine and unplug the mains input and press power button for 8 secs to drain out power from psu/mboard and re-power up and the BEEP is there and bios kicks in and windows starts ok. now on my own research and looking at the problem i might be looking at having to replace the battery on the motherboard, but would appreciate anyone's feedback and advice many thanks brian
