Laptop isn't getting to the desktop screen
Alright guys, so I have my laptop *Dell Latitude E5420* and recently I have opened it only unplugged my CMOS Battery because I was trying to get rid of the BIOS password. After dissembling it and re-assembling it, I've turned it on it takes me to windows logo screen with the loading screen. After that I get a quick glimpse of a blue screen with codes for 1 sec then it goes black. The next screen to pop up asks me to "start windows normally" or go to "Start up repair". (Keep in mind this is after I took my laptop apart for the CMOS Battery) Of course I changed a hardware so I chose the "Start Windows Normally" option. The screen goes black and it repeats itself back to the two options. Next I tried going to the Startup Repair option and it scans for errors in my laptop and nothing was found. It shuts down after the start up repair and it still takes me back to the two option screens. I've asked a friend in college who's going into IT and he says I might have the BSOD. He suggests me to take the hard drive and change the OS of it into linux to be able to fix my situation. I, a student taking into business don't understand what my college friend in IT is seeing in my situation. My college friend in IT asks me to go into my BIOS which I accessible and see what time it is in my laptop. I realize that my laptop is 3 years behind and the time is totally off. In his research, he's found that most BSOD are occured when the Clock is off as well and I need to restore my BIOS back to factory default. Do my readers' know what's wrong with my laptop?
I have Windows Home Premium 64 bit and my laptop is mainly used for college. So no biggie to getting my laptop fixed. I have access to command prompt, restore factory, BIOS settings, Diagnostics, and probably other options
